Abstract
A hard disk control method, a hard disk control device and a computer are provided The method includes detecting the current mode in which the system runs; determining the access frequency of the hard disk in the system when detecting the system runs in an idle mode currently; intercepting the hard disk access commands to be sent to the hard disk when the access frequency of the hard disk is lower than a predetermined access frequency threshold to make the hard disk enter into a preset power saving mode, and saving the hard disk access commands into a preset memory.
Claims11
A method for controlling a hard disk, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a mode in which a system currently is;
- when it is detected that the system is currently in an idle mode, determining the access frequency of the hard disk in the system;
- when the access frequency of the hard disk is less than a predetermined access frequency threshold, blocking a hard disk access command to be sent to said hard disk, to make the hard disk enter a predetermined power saving mode, and save said hard disk access command into a predetermined memory.
An apparatus for controlling a hard disk, comprising:
- a mode detecting module, configured to detect a mode in which a system currently is;
- an access frequency determining module, configured to when it is detected that the system is currently in an idle mode, determine the access frequency of the hard disk in the system;
- a blocking module, configured to when the access frequency of the hard disk is less than a predetermined access frequency threshold, block a hard disk access command to be sent to said hard disk, to make the hard disk enter a predetermined power saving mode, and save said hard disk access command into a predetermined memory.
A computer including a hard disk, further comprising:
- a hard disk controlling means, wherein, said hard disk controlling means including:
- a mode detecting module, configured to detect a mode in which a system currently is;
- an access frequency determining module, configured to when it is detected that the system is currently in an idle mode, determine the access frequency of the hard disk in the system;
- a blocking module, configured to when the access frequency of the hard disk is less than a predetermined access frequency threshold, block a hard disk access command to be sent to said hard disk, to make the hard disk enter a predetermined power saving mode, and save said hard disk access command into a predetermined memory.
