Abstract
The present disclosure provides a data accessing method applied to a PCIe storage device. The method comprises: receiving a data reading/writing request sent by a host; calculating a physical storage location of data to be accessed, based on the data reading/writing request, wherein the physical storage location comprises a plurality of PCIe storage devices communicating according to a network protocol; acquiring the data from the plurality of PCIe storage devices based on the network protocol and transferring the data to the host. Also, the disclosure provides a PCIe storage device. With the solution of the disclosure, a PCIe storage device is enabled to access both local and cloud storages, the small-capacity problem with the local storage is addressed and operations of a host's operating system for managing two different types of heterogeneous storages are simplified.
