Abstract
A storage system comprises a host, a first control device, a second control device, and a storage drive that has a physical connector A and a physical connector B for connecting to the first control device and second control device, respectively. When the storage drive is configured to operate in first working mode, it provides a shared storage space to be accessed by both the first control device and the second control device. When the storage drive is configured to operate in a second working mode, it provides a first storage space for access by the first control device and a second storage space for access by the second control device.
