Abstract
A device generally comprising a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to (i) communicate with a host via a first bus (ii) using a small computer system interface (SCSI) protocol having a plurality of command descriptor blocks. The second circuit configured to (i) communicate with a remote device with a via a second bus, (ii) using an advanced technology attachment (ATA) protocol and (iii) translate a subset of the command descriptor blocks to the ATA protocol in application specific hardware.
