Abstract: A nonvolatile storage device includes a casing, a circuit substrate, a latch and a driving piece. The outer surface of the casing is provided with a slot. The slot is connected with a push button switch. The circuit substrate is fixed in the casing. The circuit substrate is provided with a connecting interface made according to the standard of serial advanced technology attachment, a control unit and a nonvolatile memory unit. The connecting interface protrudes outside the casing. The control unit and the connecting interface are electrically connected with the nonvolatile memory unit. One end of the latch is fixed to the outside of the connecting interface with a portion thereof suspended. The driving piece is provided in the casing. One end of the driving piece is fixed to the push button switch, and the other end of the driving piece presses the suspended portion of the latch selectively.

Abstract: A network bridging apparatus for a storage device and a data stream transmitting method thereof are provided. More particularly, a chip embedded with ATA over Ethernet (AoE) technology is incorporated into the network bridging apparatus. By which the independent-external storage device can be shared over a network. According to a preferred embodiment, a bridging module having the technology of AoE is included for converting either network packets or data being compatible with some standard data transmission formats. Preferably, one end of the apparatus is equipped with a network interface unit for connecting to the network, and further, the other end of the network bridging apparatus is connected to a storage device via a transmission interface. Therefore, the storage device using a standard transmission interface, such as USB, IEEE1394. eSATA or the like, can be shared with other computer systems within the local area network.
