Abstract
A data storage system can have adaptive data path routing that consists of a network controller connected to a plurality of data storage units that each have a local controller and memory. A front-end module of the network controller may direct a first data set from a first data storage unit of the plurality of data storage units via a primary data. A back-end routing module of the network controller can adapt to an amount of data accesses by transferring a second data set from a second data storage unit of the plurality of data storage units via a back-end data path.
