Abstract
A target computing device includes a storage device, a target port, and firmware. The target port is connectable to a host port of a host computing device. The firmware is to operate the target computing device in an external storage access mode in which the storage device is externally accessible without the target computing device fully operating. The host computing device accesses via the host port the storage device as an external storage device.
