Abstract
A multi-controller storage system and a storage apparatus for performing data access to a non-volatile memory with multiple controllers are provided. When a host transmits a command to a first controller and the first controller assigns the command to a second controller, the first controller transfers data from the host to the second controller through the first controller through the non-volatile memory express over remote direct memory access protocol (NVMe over RDMA) to directly write the data into the second controller.
