Abstract

A network attached storage device (4) that has dual network ports and internal network bridge with a method for automatically configuring distributed file system allowing multiple devices to be connected directly to computer clients while presenting an amalgamation of all the devices into a single large storage element. Electronic files stored on the storage element are automatically replicated so that a failure of one of the network attached storage devices will not result in the loss of data, and the multiple devices will automatically incorporate additional units to present a larger amalgamated storage element to the computer clients. These methods simplify the use of the storage devices and allow multiple computer clients simultaneous very fast access to files on the local devices
