Abstract: The present invention provides a network storage system for increasing data reading efficiency of a net storage service and a network storage method for increasing data reading efficiency of the net storage service. The network storage system comprises: a network processing module, a first fast file transmitting module, and a second fast file transmitting module. The present invention can omit the standard process of the traditional operation system processing files when reading data, and the network storage system and the network storage method of the present invention can use a new file processing procedure in the second fast file transmitting module. In this way, the present invention can shorten the file processing flow in the traditional network storage system, so as to increase data reading efficiency of the net storage service over 250%.

Abstract: The present invention provides a network storage system for increasing data writing efficiency of a net storage service and a network storage method for increasing data writing efficiency of the net storage service. The network storage system comprises: a first module, a first data buffer, a second module, and a third module. The present invention can omit the standard process of the traditional operation system processing files when writing data, and the network storage system and the network storage method of the present invention can use a new file processing procedure in the second module and the third module. In this way, the present invention can shorten the file processing flow in the traditional network storage system, so as to increase data writing efficiency of the net storage service over 50%.

Abstract: A network storage system includes a first data buffer, a second data buffer, a pre-allocating module and a control module. The first data buffer is utilized for storing a storage data received from a network-base. The second data buffer is coupled to the first data buffer and includes a plurality of data buffering units. The pre-allocating module is coupled to the second data buffer and utilized for allocating the plurality of data buffering units to the second data buffer in advance. The control module controls the first data buffer to write the stored storage data into the plurality of data buffering units.

Abstract: A method for formatting a network-attached storage (NAS) includes: coupling the NAS to a user-end personal computer (PC) via an external bus which supports a plug and play function; and utilizing the user-end PC to format a storage device of the NAS via the external bus. A network-attached storage includes a storage device, and a bus interface for coupling an external bus which supports a plug and play function such that the storage device of the NAS is formatted via the external bus.
