Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art, in order to solve the shortcoming that the storage controller stays in a busy state and cannot communicate with the storage device when the storage device is not ready, the computer system can send a restart (Software Reset) command to the storage device to make the storage device Return the ready packet to make the storage controller enter the ready state
However, this restart command has its compatibility problem, some storage devices will return a ready packet, but it is invalid for other storage devices, so that the storage controller cannot enter the ready state

Abstract

The invention provides a storage control method for a computer system and a relevant storage control device thereof. The storage control method is used for executing automatic connection at proper time and comprises the following steps: a storage controller generates a command for controlling and reading a storage device; a connecting port multiplier forwards the command; and when the storage controller receives a connecting request, the computer system transmits a signal to the connecting port multiplier so that the connecting port multiplier and the storage controller form a connecting state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a storage control method for a computer system and a related storage control device, and more particularly to a storage control method and a related storage control device for performing automatic connection in a timely manner. Background technique [0002] For a long time, storage devices have been an indispensable part of computer systems. With different functions, there are quite a variety of types, such as floppy disks, hard disks, optical disks and flash memory. The data transmission between the storage device and the computer system is usually through a storage controller, which is used to convert the command of the computer system into an instruction to control the reading of the storage device. In view of the convenience of use, and considering that these storage devices often need to be processed by the computer system, many external interface devices have been developed to facilitate the connection of these st...
