Abstract

A loading control method and system for a storage device are disclosed. The method includes: judging whether a storage controller is valid through a first bus, and judging whether a storage controller is valid through a first bus, and acquiring a key of the storage controller if a positive judgement is made; judging whether the key is valid, commanding the storage controller to turn on a power supply of a storage device if a positive judgement is made; and loading the storage device through a second bus. According to the method, storage devices based on windows and android systems are allowed to be loaded after the verification of storage devices is successful. The method protects data security of a user can be effectively and provides reliable and effective protection for future private cloud service data.

Claims

1. A loading control method for a storage device, comprising:

judging whether a storage controller is valid through a first bus, and acquiring a key of the storage controller if a positive judgement is made;

judging whether the key is valid, commanding the storage controller to turn on a power supply of the storage device if a positive judgement is made; and

loading and accessing the storage device through a second bus;

wherein the step of judging whether the storage controller is valid through the first bus further comprises;

sending a broadcast command to the storage controller through the first bus;

acquiring an identity identification information replied by the storage controller; and

judging whether the storage controller is valid according to the identity identification information;

wherein the step of commanding the storage controller to turn on the power supply of the storage device further comprises;

sending a command to the storage controller through the first bus; and

waiting for the storage controller to turn on the power supply of the storage device.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of acquiring the key of the storage controller further comprises:

sending a command to the storage controller through the first bus; and

acquiring the key uploaded by the storage controller from the first bus.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first bus is an RS485 bus, and the second bus is a USB bus.
