    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a storage system including a first storage device (e.g., a main storage device) and one or more additional storage devices (e.g., sub storage devices). The first storage device includes a host interface for communicating with a host device and is directly connected to the host device. The additional storage devices may be directly connected to the first storage device and may communicate with the host device through the host interface included in the first storage device. The storage system thus has a total combined capacity of both the capacity of the first storage device and the capacity of the one or more additional storage devices. Further, the one or more additional storage devices may be added or removed to increase or decrease the total capacity of the storage system, and the one or more additional storage devices may not necessarily themselves include a host interface.
