摘要： An apparatus including first and second memory devices, wherein each memory device includes data storage, a controller for controlling data transfer to and from the data storage, and a plug with contacts for connecting with the power, ground, and data contacts of an independent port of a host system. Additionally, the first and second memory devices are interconnected to share power and communicate data directly between the first and second memory devices. The memory devices may be any type of external memory device, such as a flash drive, or a peripheral device having a high data transfer rate, such as a digital video camera.

摘要： The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for performing maintenance operations on a first set of peripheral devices. The method initiates communication to the first set of peripheral devices using a radio frequency transmission link. A set of diagnostic routines is initiated on the first set of peripheral devices. Data associated with the diagnostic routines from the first set of peripheral devices is received. A number of maintenance updates from a plurality of maintenance updates is selected for each peripheral device in the first set of peripheral devices using the data associated with the set of diagnostic routines. Maintenance operations are performed simultaneously, over the radio frequency transmission link, for each peripheral device in the first set of peripheral devices utilizing the number of maintenance updates.

摘要： An apparatus comprising a single memory device providing data storage, a controller for controlling data transfer to and from the data storage, and first and second bus connector plugs, wherein each plug has contacts for connecting with the power, ground, and data contacts of a port of a host system. The power and ground contacts of the first and second plugs are coupled together to provide power to the apparatus through either or both plugs. Data from either or both plugs is communicated with the controller depending upon which plugs are coupled to a port. The controller is responsible for controlling the read and write operations of the data storage. The apparatus may be any type of external memory device, such as a flash drive, or a peripheral device having a high data transfer rate, such as a digital video camera.

摘要： Method, computer program product and system for communicating data between an operating system and a single peripheral device over a bus having a plurality of hubs. Portions of the data are sequentially directed through the plurality of hubs. Preferably, the portions of the data are substantially equally sized blocks of the data. Effective data transfer rates can be increased by connecting the peripheral to two root hubs instead of just one. The data storage system comprises a host computer including an operating system and a bus having a plurality of hubs, a single peripheral device coupled to the hubs, and a processor for communication with the peripheral device.
