A data routing system supporting a dual master device, comprising: a first master device, comprising: a first plug and a first socket, adapted to transmit data of a first channel; a second plug and a second a socket adapted to transmit data of a second channel; a slave controller coupled to the first plug; a first hub coupled to the first socket; and a processor coupled to the slave controller and the first a hub for processing data transmitted through the first channel; at least one storage device, each of the storage devices includes: a third plug and a third socket, adapted to transmit data of the first channel, the third plug is suitable Inserting the first socket; a fourth plug and a fourth socket adapted to transmit the data of the second channel, the fourth plug is adapted to be inserted into the second socket; a second hub coupled to the third plug And the third socket, processing the data transmitted through the first channel; and the at least one non-storage device, each of the non-storage devices comprising: a fifth plug and a fifth socket, adapted to transmit the data of the first channel The fifth The head is adapted to be inserted into the first socket or the third socket; a sixth plug and a sixth socket adapted to transmit data of the second channel, the sixth plug being adapted to be inserted into the second socket or the fourth socket ;as well as a third hub, coupled to the sixth plug and the sixth socket, processing data transmitted via the second channel, wherein the slave controller of the first master device comprises virtualizing the first master device into a The slave device provides a second master device connected to the first master device to access the storage device connected in series with the first master device. The data routing system of the dual master device as described in claim 1, wherein the first plug and the second plug are respectively connected to the second master device to provide the second master device to transmit the second master device Accessing the storage device in one channel and accessing the non-storage device through the second channel. The data routing system for supporting the dual master device as described in claim 1 further includes: an input/output expansion device, comprising: a seventh socket connected to the first plug; and an eighth socket connected to the first a second plug, connected to the second main control device; a fourth hub coupled to the seventh socket and the eighth socket, receiving the first channel received through the seventh socket and the eighth socket And the information of the second channel; the interface controller is coupled to the fourth hub and the seventh plug, and combines the data of the first channel and the second channel received by the fourth hub, and transmits the data through the seventh channel The plug is transmitted to the second main control device. Supporting dual master devices as described in item 3 of the patent application scope The data routing system, wherein the input/output expansion device further comprises: a graphics processing unit coupled to the interface controller to receive and process a graphics processing request by the second master device. The data routing system supporting the dual master device according to claim 3, wherein the first master device and the input/output expansion device comprise a hardware foolproof device corresponding to each other to define the first master The first plug and the second plug of the control device can only be inserted into the seventh socket and the eighth socket of the input/output expansion device. For example, the data routing system supporting the dual master device described in claim 3, wherein the interface controller is a lightning controller that supports dual channel data transmission. The data routing system of the dual master device as described in claim 1, wherein the first master device further includes: a network module coupled to the processor and adapted to connect to the network to provide Other devices on the network access the data on the storage device through the first master device. The data routing system of the dual master device of claim 1, wherein the first hub, the second hub, and the third hub are respectively coupled to a main body to access the main body and pass through the main body. The first channel transmits the accessed data. The data routing system supporting the dual master device according to claim 1, wherein the storage device comprises a hard disk, a memory or a memory card. The data routing system supporting the dual master device according to claim 1, wherein the non-storage device comprises a graphics processing unit, a display, a CD player or a programmer.
