In response to a host data write command received from the host, the active eSSD stores the host data and sends an address and an instruction corresponding to the host data to the one or more passive eSSDs. Each of the one or more passive eSSDs stores a copy of the host data using the address and the instruction received from the active eSSD and the host data received in the packets forwarded by the fabrics switch.
