Abstract
A network storage device receives data from and transmits data to a plurality of network devices via a single serial network link. The network storage device has a cache selector, for transferring data associated with individual ones of the plurality of-network devices to corresponding cache queues. Data is output from a cache queue to the storage device when at least one complete block can be written to the storage device, and from the cache queue to the serial network link when at least one complete frame can be transmitted.
