Abstract
The invention discloses a method for protecting data in a non-volatile storage device and a computer thereof. The computer includes a non-volatile storage device, a temperature sensing unit, and a controller. The temperature sensing unit is disposed at the non-volatile storage device to sense a sensed temperature of the non-volatile storage device and to compare the sensed temperature with a predetermined temperature. The controller is coupled with the temperature sensing unit. When the sensed temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature, the controller makes the computer enter into a hibernation state.
Claims17
A computer comprising:
- a non-volatile storage device;
- a temperature sensing unit disposed at the non-volatile storage device, for sensing a sensed temperature of the non-volatile storage device and comparing the sensed temperature with a predetermined temperature;
- and
- a controller coupled with the temperature sensing unit, when the sensed temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature, the computer enter into a hibernation state and original system states of the computer are stored in the non-volatile storage device in the hibernation state,
- wherein the non-volatile storage device is a hard disk drive comprising a case and a motor installed in the case, and the temperature sensing unit is disposed at an external surface of the case and is adjacent to the motor.
