DATA STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

In an embodiment, a storage device may include a tangible non-transitory physical storage for storing information. The storage device may also include an interface. The interface may be used to receive a signal that may be associated with one of a plurality of different protocols. The signal may be received serially. The storage device may include circuitry which may be used to identify a protocol associated with the received signal. The protocol may be identified based on an attribute associated with the received signal. Alternatively or in addition to, the protocol may be identified based on information encoded in the received signal. The information encoded in the received signal may include, for example, a data header that may be associated with the protocol.
