Abstract
A multi-port data storage device to at least provide port-to-port communication between nodes. The multi-port storage device includes a first port, a second port and a bridge. The first port can be operatively coupled to a first node of a plurality of nodes. The second port can be operatively coupled to a second node of the plurality of nodes. The bridge can receive one or more data packets via the first or second ports to be transmitted to one of the plurality of nodes and to transmit one or more received data packets to another multi-port data storage device, to the first node, or to the second node.
