Abstract
Herein described is a method and system of prioritizing access to data stored in one or more data processing devices communicatively coupled to the data storage device. The method may be based on the type of data file accessed. Prioritization may be based on data pool or share names. Further, one or more data ports of the data storage device may be used to prioritize access to one or more data files stored in the data storage device. The system may comprise a storage device, one or more data processing devices requesting data file access from the data storage device, a software resident in a memory of the data storage device, a processor executing the software, and a display.
