A secure storage network includes a secure storage appliance connected to a client via an IP network. The secure storage appliance facilitates storing and reading data in the secure storage network. The secure storage appliance presents a virtual disk to the client via the IP network. The virtual disk is associated with a volume mapped to shares stored on physical storage devices. The secure storage appliance receives various requests from the client. In response to a request to store data to the volume, the secure storage appliance splits and encrypts data into secondary blocks of data and stores the secondary blocks of data to the shares. In response to a request to read data from the volume, the secure storage appliance reconstitutes data from at least a portion of the secondary blocks of data stored in the shares on the physical storage devices.
