    Abstract: A data storage system includes memory, a controller, and an Ethernet interface enabling sending and/or receiving Ethernet packets to or from a client system, according to a first protocol. The controller is coupled between the memory and the Ethernet interface and essentially carries out a translation function. Information packets from the client system are translated from a first protocol to a second protocol for use by the memory, and information from the memory is translated from the second protocol to the first protocol for use by the client system as Ethernet packets.
