Abstract
A system including an Ethernet network interface module, a processor, and a hard disk control module. The Ethernet network interface module is configured to transmit and receive packets via an Ethernet connection. The processor is configured to process the packets transmitted and received by the Ethernet network interface module via the Ethernet connection. The processor is configured to support processing of the packets transmitted and received using (i) a hyper-text transfer protocol, (ii) a peer-to-peer sharing protocol, and (iii) an Internet small computer system interface (SCSI) protocol. The hard disk control module is configured to control, based on the packets transmitted and received, writing and reading of data to a hard disk drive. The hard disk control module, the processor, and the network interface module are located in an integrated circuit included in the hard disk drive.
