Abstract: A multiple-path thunderbolt storage apparatus and a multiple-path thunderbolt storage system are provided. The multiple-path thunderbolt storage apparatus includes a storage-processing unit and a storage unit. The storage-processing unit includes at least two terminal units complying with Peripheral Component Interconnect Express standard wherein each terminal unit is configured to be electrically coupled to a thunderbolt port and programmed to have a corresponding non-volatile memory control unit. The storage unit is electrically coupled to the at least two terminal units and includes a common storage area accessible to each non-volatile memory control unit. The multiple-path thunderbolt storage system includes the multiple-path thunderbolt storage apparatus and at least one user device which includes thunderbolt ports and a user device-processing unit.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a data storage system using a solid state disk to replace a non-volatile memory. The data storage system comprises a plurality of controllers, a first storage unit and a second storage unit. The plurality of controllers are electrically connected with each other, and are capable of storing data into said storage units and restoring data from said storage units. When a controller receives the data transmitted from a remote device, a data journal is generated and stored into the first storage unit. After a message of “successfully received” is sent back to the remote device, the data is transferred to the second storage unit.
