Storage device having independent storage areas and password protection method thereof

Abstract

A storage device having independent storage areas and password protection method thereof are described for resolving the problem of a prior-art storage device assigning its storage memory to a single continuous storage area and its data protection. The multi-sector storage device has a password protection function with an application system being electrically coupled to a control unit through a system end interface. The control unit is electrically coupled to a storage medium through a storage medium interface, and the total storage space of the storage medium includes a plurality of independent storage areas and a dedicated specific area. Several special instruction sets and control methods are built into the control unit, and the objective of the invention is to divide the storage space of the storage device into several independent areas as to enhance the protection of the stored data.
