Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in order to configure the original IDE dielectric hard disk 131 or CD-ROM drive and the new-generation SATA interface hard disk 132 for the above-mentioned portable computer 100, in addition to the original IDE interface connector 121, an additional SATA interface must be added. Connector 122 to insert SATA interface hard disk 132
In this way, the volume of the portable computer 100 will be increased, so that the traditional portable computer 100 cannot have the advantages of being thin, light, small, and easy to carry.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The present invention uses some grounding pins in the IDE interface connector and pins that are not used as the hard disk technology progresses as the signal pins required by the SATA interface hard disk, and part of the power pins and grounding pins are controlled by the IDE. The interface hard disk and the SATA interface hard disk are shared. Therefore, the portable computer can be selectively configured with an IDE dielectric hard disk or a SATA interface hard disk by using only one IDE interface connector, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the volume of the portable computer.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2A , which shows a block diagram when a portable computer is selectively configured with an IDE interface hard disk or a SATA interface hard disk according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The portable computer 200 has a circuit board 205 , and the circuit board 205 has a controller 210 , such as a south bridge chip, and an IDE interfa...

Abstract

This invention relates to a laptop selectively allocating first interface hard disk or a second one, which comprises a controller, dielectric connector and the second interface converter. Wherein, controller includes first interface control unit and second unit individually for controlling the first disk and second one; interface connector electrically connects to the first and second interface control units, and selectively connects to first and second interface disk; part of landing foot-sites of interface connector and first interface idle foot-sites are used as second disk signal foot-site, and part of landing foot-sites and power foot-sites are shared by first and second disks.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a portable computer, and more particularly to a single interface connector, which can be selectively configured with an Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) interface hard disk and a serial advanced technology attachment specification ( Portable computer with Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface hard disk. Background technique [0002] Generally, the hard disk used in portable computers is an IDE interface hard disk. The portable computer transmits signals and power to the IDE interface hard disk through an interface connector with 44 pins. In order to provide faster and larger data transmission, a new generation of portable computers began to be equipped with SATA interface hard drives. This new SATA interface hard disk has 22 SATA interface pins, which is incompatible with the 44 IDE interface pins of the original IDE interface hard disk. Therefore, the portable computer must use the IDE interface c...
