Abstract
A USB-SATA conversion circuit board of a memory device includes a data traffic counter that retains a data traffic transferred in accordance with a reading command within a certain time period. Subsequently, the data transfer is prohibited when it is determined that the data is transferred from the memory device to the host device at a speed faster than a data transfer speed requisite at the time of playing of a motion image based on a value retained by the data traffic counter.
Claims5
A memory device which is connectable to a host device, the memory device comprising:
- a data traffic monitoring unit that monitors a data traffic per a predetermined time period from the memory device to the host device;
- and
- a data transfer unit that prohibits data transfer from the memory device to the host device when the data traffic per the predetermined time period monitored by the data traffic monitoring unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount.
A method of transferring data from a memory device to a host device connected to the memory device, the method comprising:
- a process of monitoring a data traffic per a predetermined time period from the memory device to the host device;
- and
- a process of prohibiting the data transfer from the memory device to the host device when the data traffic per the predetermined time period monitored by the former process is equal to or more than a predetermined value.
