[0054] The term "and / or" in the present application is merely used to describe an associated relationship between associated objects, and can represent three relationships, for example, A and / or B can represent three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone.

[0055] The terms "first" and "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish different objects, and are not used to describe a specific order of the objects. For example, the first rotational speed gear and the second rotational speed gear are used to distinguish different rotational speed gears, and are not used to describe a specific order of the rotational speed gears.

[0056] In the present application, the words "exemplary" and "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described in the present application as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the exemplary or for example embodiments are used to illustrate at least one of the concepts described in the present application.

[0057] In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specified. For example, multiple rotational speed gears means two or more rotational speed gears; multiple rated rewrite / read times means two or more rated rewrite / read times.

[0058] ​​With the advent of the era of big data, the capacity of storage hard disk is also increasing, at the same time, the probability of hard disk failure due to vibration in the environment also increases.

[0059] For example, a mechanical hard disk: it is known that the size of the disk used for storing data in the mechanical hard disk is constant, so in order to increase the capacity of the disk, it is generally achieved by increasing the number of tracks on the disk. However, the width of each track in the disk after increasing the number of tracks is smaller, so that the distance between the head and the disk is reduced. At this time, if the vibration in the environment of the mechanical hard disk is large (such as the computing device where the mechanical hard disk is located is located in a subway station, when the subway passes through the subway station, it will produce a large vibration to the mechanical hard disk in the computing device), it will cause the head writing / reading data on the disk to deviate from the current track, at this time, the head can only store the data by re-writing / reading the data.

[0060] Generally, the user will determine the cause of the failure of the hard disk by manual troubleshooting after the failure of the hard disk, and eliminate the failure. When troubleshooting the cause of the failure, whether it is the vibration in the environment of the computing device where the hard disk is located, it needs to be manually performed after the hard disk fails, that is, the above method is executed in the case of computing device downtime due to hard disk failure, thereby resulting in high maintenance cost of the hard disk.

[0061] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a hard disk early warning method, which outputs prompt information for prompting the influence degree of the vibration in the current environment of the computing device on the re-writing / reading data of the hard disk in the computing device according to the number of times of re-writing / reading data of the hard disk caused by the computing device itself and the current number of times of re-writing / reading data of the hard disk; so that the user can know the number of times of re-writing / reading data under normal circumstances and the actual number of times of re-writing / reading data according to the prompt information, and then master the influence degree of the vibration in the environment of the computing device on the writing / reading data of the hard disk in the computing device, and support to prevent the failure of the hard disk in the computing device caused by the vibration in the environment of the computing device in advance according to the influence degree, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the hard disk.

The memory can hold instructions or data that the processor 101 has just used or recycled. If the processor 101 needs to use the instructions or data again, it can be directly called from the memory. This avoids repeated access and reduces the waiting time of the processor 101, thus improving the efficiency of the system.

[0069] The network interface 103 is a wired interface (port), such as an FDDI, GE interface. Alternatively, the network interface 103 is a wireless interface. It should be understood that the network interface 103 includes a plurality of physical ports, and the network interface 103 is configured to obtain the current rated rewrite / read times of the hard disk 102.

[0070] The heat dissipation device 104 can be a water-cooled radiator or an air-cooled radiator, and the heat dissipation device 104 is configured to cool the computing device based on a fan.

[0072] For example, when the hard disk 102 is a mechanical hard disk, a schematic diagram of an internal structure of the mechanical hard disk 102 is as shown in Figure 2 The mechanical hard disk 102 includes an input interface 201, a controller 202, a magnetic head 203, and a magnetic disk 204.

[0077] The magnetic disk 204 is configured to store data, and specifically, the magnetic disk 204 includes a plurality of tracks, and the data is stored in the plurality of tracks.

[0078] It should be noted that the device for executing the hard disk pre-warning method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be the computing device as shown in Figure 1 .

[0079] It should be noted that the hard disks in the embodiments of the present application are all taken as examples of mechanical hard disks, and subsequent descriptions will not be repeated.

[0080] The hard disk early warning method provided by the embodiment of the application can be executed by the processor 101 in the computing device or the controller 202 in the hard disk 102 (the hard disk 102 is a mechanical hard disk 102 in the computing device). Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps. Figure 3 The method comprises steps S110-S120.

[0081] In S110, the computing device acquires the current rated rewrite / read times and the current rewrite / read times of the hard disk in the computing device.

[0084] For example, assuming that the hard disk A is only affected by the vibration caused by the heat dissipation fan in the server where the hard disk A is located, the rewrite times of the hard disk A per unit time is 5, and the rated rewrite times of the hard disk A is 5.

[0085] The current rewrite / read times of the hard disk are the rewrite / read times of the hard disk caused by the computing device itself and the environment where the computing device is located, specifically, the rewrite / read times of the hard disk caused by the internal vibration of the computing device and the external vibration of the environment where the computing device is located, wherein the external vibration of the computing device is the vibration in the environment where the computing device is located, for example, assuming that the computing device is located in a subway station, when the subway passes through the subway station, the vibration caused by the subway to the computing device.

[0086] For example, assuming that the hard disk A is affected by the vibration caused by the heat dissipation fan in the server where the hard disk A is located and the vibration in the environment where the server is located, the rewrite times of the hard disk A per unit time is 10, and the current rewrite times of the hard disk A is 10.

[0087] The specific implementation of how to determine the current rated rewrite / read times and the current rewrite / read times is described below (S510-S530), which will not be repeated here.

[0088] In S120, the computing device outputs prompt information according to the current rated rewrite / read times and the current rewrite / read times of the hard disk.

[0089] The prompt information is used to prompt an influence degree of vibration in an environment where the computing device is currently located on rewriting / reading data of the hard disk (i.e., external vibration of the computing device).

[0090] For example, based on the example in S110, the current rated rewriting times of the hard disk A is 5, and the current rewriting times is 10. That is, the computing device outputs "the current rated rewriting times of the hard disk A in the current computing device is 5, the current rewriting times is 10, please handle it in time!!!".

[0091] The embodiment of the present application provides a hard disk warning method. According to the rewriting / reading times of data of the hard disk caused by the computing device itself and the current rewriting / reading times of the hard disk, prompt information used to prompt an influence degree of vibration in an environment where the computing device is currently located on rewriting / reading data of the hard disk is output. Therefore, the user can know the rewriting / reading times under normal condition and the current actual rewriting / reading times according to the prompt information, and then master the influence degree of vibration in the environment where the computing device is located on rewriting / reading data of the hard disk in the computing device, and support preventing the failure of the hard disk in the computing device caused by vibration in the environment where the computing device is located in advance according to the influence degree, so that the maintenance cost of the hard disk is reduced.

[0092] Based on the hard disk warning method, the embodiment of the present application provides two specific hard disk warning method embodiments, which are as follows.

[0093] Embodiment 1

[0094] As shown in Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a hard disk warning method. The method can include S210-S230.

[0095] S210, the computing device acquires the current rated rewriting / reading times and the current rewriting / reading times of the hard disk in the computing device.

[0096] It should be noted that the specific implementation of S210 is consistent with the specific implementation of S110. For the specific description of S210, reference can be made to the specific description of S110, which will not be repeated here.

[0097] S220, the computing device determines the difference between the current rated rewriting / reading times and the current rewriting / reading times of the hard disk in the computing device.

[0098] The difference between the current number of rewrites / reads and the current rated number of rewrites / reads of the hard disk is used to represent the influence of the vibration in the environment in which the computing device is located (i.e., the external vibration of the computing device) on the number of rewrites / reads of the hard disk. The difference can be represented by the ratio of the current number of rewrites / reads to the current rated number of rewrites / reads, and can also be represented by the difference between the current number of rewrites / reads and the current rated number of rewrites / reads. The present application does not limit the form of representation of the difference.

[0099] For example, assuming that the difference is represented by the difference between the current number of rewrites / reads and the current rated number of rewrites / reads, the current number of rewrites / reads is 6, and the current rated number of rewrites / reads is 2, the difference is 4, which is the difference between the current number of rewrites / reads 6 and the current rated number of rewrites / reads 2.

[0100] Optionally, the difference in S220 can be directly obtained, in which case the method does not include S210. The computing device can obtain the difference from a local device, or from another device other than the computing device. The present application does not limit the implementation of obtaining the difference.

[0101] The specific implementation of how to determine the current number of rewrites / reads and the current rated number of rewrites / reads is described below (S510-S530), and will not be described here.

[0102] In S230, the computing device outputs prompt information according to the difference between the current rated number of rewrites / reads and the current number of rewrites / reads of the hard disk.

[0103] The prompt information is used to prompt the influence of the vibration in the environment in which the computing device is currently located (i.e., the external vibration of the computing device) on the number of rewrites / reads of the hard disk.

[0104] For the example in S220, the difference is 4, and the computing device outputs “The number of rewrites / reads of the hard disk in the current computing device due to external vibration is 4 times, please handle it in time!!!”.

[0105] For another example, assuming that the difference is represented by the ratio of the current number of rewrites / reads to the current rated number of rewrites / reads, the current number of rewrites / reads is 6, and the current rated number of rewrites / reads is 2, the difference is 3, which is the ratio of the current number of rewrites / reads 6 to the current rated number of rewrites / reads 2. The computing device outputs “The actual number of rewrites of the hard disk in the current computing device is 3 times the rated number of rewrites / reads, please handle it in time!!!”.

[0106] The hard drive early warning method provided in this application embodiment is as follows: by acquiring the number of hard drive data rewrites / reads caused by the computing device itself and the current number of hard drive rewrites / reads, and determining the difference between the number of hard drive data rewrites / reads caused by the computing device itself and the current number of hard drive rewrites / reads; and based on the difference, outputting a prompt message to indicate the degree of impact of vibration in the current environment of the computing device on the hard drive's data rewrite / reading in the computing device; thereby enabling the user to grasp the degree of impact of vibration in the environment of the computing device on the hard drive's data writing / reading in the computing device in real time based on the prompt message, and take timely preventive measures; thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the hard drive.

[0107] It should be understood that when the hard drive is exposed to significant vibrations in its environment, it can cause data write / read failures. In such cases, the controller in the hard drive, upon detecting the data write / read failure, will rewrite / read the failed data. The number of rewrite / read operations in this embodiment specifically refers to the number of times the failed data is rewritten / read.

[0108] The vibrations in the environment in which the hard drive is located include both internal vibrations of the computing device and external vibrations (i.e., vibrations caused by the environment in which the computing device is located). Internal vibrations of the computing device include vibrations caused by the rotation of the cooling system; the higher the rotation speed of the cooling system, the greater the vibration generated on the hard drive. External vibrations of the computing device specifically refer to vibrations in its environment. For example, if the computing device is located in a subway station, the vibrations generated by the passing subway trains. The greater the vibrations in the environment, the greater the vibrations generated on the hard drive, and the more write / read operations the hard drive will perform per unit time.

[0109] Based on the impact of vibration generated by the aforementioned heat dissipation device on the number of write / read cycles of the hard drive, in this embodiment, the computing device first establishes a correspondence between multiple speed settings and multiple rated rewrite / read cycles of the hard drive (hereinafter referred to as Stage 1: Creating Correspondence), and then executes a hard drive warning method based on this correspondence (hereinafter referred to as Stage 2: Hard Drive Warning). The following describes these two stages respectively.

[0110] Phase 1: Creating Correspondence

[0111] like Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a method for creating a correspondence between multiple rotational speed settings and multiple rated rewrite / read cycles of a hard disk, according to an embodiment of this application. The method includes steps S310-S360.

[0112] S310, in an initialization process, a CPU in the computing device controls the heat dissipation device to work at a first rotating speed gear of a plurality of rotating speed gears.

[0113] The heat dissipation device is a heat dissipation device in the computing device, that is, the heat dissipation device is the heat dissipation device in the computing device Figure 1 as shown in the computing device in FIG. 1, and the heat dissipation device can be a heat dissipation fan in the computing device.

[0114] The rotating speed gear can represent a rotating speed interval, for example, the rotating speed gear is that the rotating speed is greater than 0 revolutions per second and less than or equal to 300 revolutions per second, that is, the rotating speed gear is (0 revolutions per second, 300 revolutions per second]. Or the rotating speed of the heat dissipation device, for example, 300 revolutions per second, and the specific form of the rotating speed gear is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0115] It should be understood that there is no vibration in the environment in which the computing device is located in the initialization process; that is, in the initialization process, the hard disk is only subjected to the vibration inside the computing device, and the internal vibration of the computing device mainly includes the vibration generated by the rotation of the heat dissipation device in the computing device.

[0116] S320, the CPU in the computing device sends an identifier of the first rotating speed gear to a hard disk controller of the computing device.

[0117] The hard disk controller of the computing device is a controller in the hard disk 102 of the computing device as shown in FIG. 1; when the hard disk is a mechanical hard disk, the hard disk controller is the controller 202 in the mechanical hard disk 102 as shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 Figure 2

[0118] It should be noted that the CPU sending the first rotating speed gear to the hard disk controller can be sent through a wired link between the CPU and the hard disk, or can be sent through a wireless link between the CPU and the hard disk; the specific implementation of the CPU sending the first rotating speed gear to the hard disk controller is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0119] The specific implementation of S320 is that the CPU sends the first rotating speed gear to the input interface 201 of the hard disk in the computing device, and then the input interface 201 sends the first rotating speed gear to the controller 202 in the hard disk. Figure 2

[0120] S330, the hard disk controller of the computing device receives the identifier of the first rotating speed gear sent by the CPU.

[0121] The first rotating speed gear is the current rotating speed gear used by the heat dissipation device.

[0122] ​​​S340, the hard disk controller of the computing device counts a first rated rewrite / read number of the hard disk in the first rotation speed gear.

[0123] The S340 is executed after the controller receives the identification of the first rotation speed gear, that is, the S340 is executed in response to the receiving operation in the S330.

[0124] The first rated rewrite / read number is the rewrite / read number of the hard disk in the first rotation speed gear of the heat dissipation device, wherein the S310-S340 are executed in the initialization process of the computing device, and the hard disk is not affected by the vibration in the environment of the computing device in the initialization process of the computing device, and the first rated rewrite / read number is not affected by the vibration in the environment of the computing device.

[0125] S350, the CPU in the computing device receives the first rated rewrite / read number sent by the hard disk controller of the computing device during the process in which the CPU controls the heat dissipation device to work in the first rotation speed gear.

[0126] S360, the CPU in the computing device establishes a corresponding relationship between the identification of the first rotation speed gear and the first rated rewrite / read number.

[0127] Based on the S310-S360, a corresponding relationship between a plurality of rotation speed gears and a plurality of rated rewrite / read numbers of the hard disk is obtained, specifically: in the initialization process of the computing device, the computing device adjusts the heat dissipation device to each of a plurality of rotation speed gears, and counts the rewrite / read number of the hard disk in the current rotation speed gear, thereby obtaining a plurality of rated rewrite / read numbers; then, the computing device determines the corresponding relationship according to the plurality of rotation speed gears and the plurality of rated rewrite / read numbers. Wherein, any two rotation speed gears in the plurality of rotation speed gears are different; the plurality of rotation speed gears and the plurality of rated rewrite / read numbers are one-to-one corresponding, and the rated rewrite / read number corresponding to one rotation speed gear is the rated rewrite / read number of the hard disk in the rotation speed gear.

[0128] A specific manifestation of the corresponding relationship is shown in Table 1; specifically including: when the rotation speed gear of the heat dissipation device is (0%, 30%] of the rated rotation speed of the heat dissipation device, the vibration (i.e. the internal vibration of the computing device) caused by the rotation speed of the heat dissipation device causes the rewrite / read number of the hard disk to be 0 times; when the rotation speed gear of the heat dissipation device is (30%, 60%] of the rated rotation speed of the heat dissipation device, the vibration caused by the rotation speed of the heat dissipation device causes the rewrite / read number of the hard disk to be 2 times; when the rotation speed gear of the heat dissipation device is (60%, 100%] of the rated rotation speed of the heat dissipation device, the vibration caused by the rotation speed of the heat dissipation device causes the rewrite / read number of the hard disk to be 5 times.

[0129] Table 1

[0130] Number RPM range Rated rewrite / read cycles 1 (0％，30％] 0 2 (30％，60％] 2 3 (60％，100％] 5

[0131] Another specific representation of the above correspondence is shown in Table 2 below; the speed settings include: (0 rpm, 300 rpm), (300 rpm, 600 rpm), and (600 rpm, 1000 rpm); at this time, after the CPU in the computing device adjusts the speed of the cooling device to (0 rpm, 300 rpm), it obtains the number of hard drive rewrites / reads within 1 minute as counted by the hard drive controller of the computing device, which is 0; then, after the CPU in the computing device adjusts the speed of the cooling device to (300 rpm, 600 rpm), it obtains the number of hard drive rewrites / reads within 1 minute as counted by the hard drive controller of the computing device, which is 0; The hard drive controller records 2 write / read operations within one minute. Then, the CPU in the computing device adjusts the cooling system's speed to (600 RPM, 1000 RPM) and obtains 5 write / read operations from the hard drive controller within one minute. At this point, the CPU in the computing device determines the above correspondence based on the RPM settings (0 RPM, 300 RPM), (300 RPM, 600 RPM), and (600 RPM, 1000 RPM) and the write / read operations counts of 0, 2, and 5.

[0132] Table 2

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] It should be noted that after the CPU in the aforementioned computing device determines the above correspondence, it can store the correspondence in the hard disk, and the computing device can directly retrieve it from the hard disk when used subsequently.

[0136] like Figure 6 The diagram illustrates another method for creating a correspondence between multiple rotational speed levels and multiple rated rewrite / read cycles of a hard disk, according to an embodiment of this application. The method includes steps S410-S430.

[0137] S410. During the initialization process of the computing device, the hard disk controller of the computing device receives the identifier of the first speed level among multiple speed levels sent by the CPU in the computing device.

[0138] The aforementioned first speed setting is the speed setting currently used by the heat dissipation device in the computing device; that is, during the execution of S410, the current speed of the heat dissipation device in the computing device is the speed in the first speed setting.

[0139] It should be noted that the implementation of S410 is similar to that of S310-S330. For a detailed description of S410, please refer to the relevant descriptions of S310-S330 above. It will not be repeated here.

[0140] S420 The hard disk controller of the computing device responds to the received operation and counts the first rated number of write / read operations of the hard disk at the first speed setting.

[0141] It should be noted that the implementation of S420 is similar to that of S340. For a detailed description of S420, please refer to the relevant description of S340 above. It will not be repeated here.

[0142] S430, The hard disk controller of the computing device establishes a correspondence between the identifier of the first speed range and the first rated number of rewrite / read cycles.

[0143] It should be noted that the implementation of S430 is similar to that of S360. For a detailed description of S430, please refer to the relevant description of S360 above. It will not be repeated here.

[0144] Compared to the above method of determining the correspondence through the CPU, the embodiments of this application determine the correspondence between the first speed setting and the first rated rewrite / read count by the hard disk controller of the computing device by counting the first rated rewrite / read count of the hard disk at the first speed setting; thereby reducing the computing pressure on the CPU and improving the initialization efficiency of the computing device.

[0145] Phase 2: Hard Drive Warning

[0146] like Figure 7 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a hard disk early warning method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method may include steps S510-S550.

[0147] S510: The CPU in the computing device obtains the current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device in the computing device.

[0148] The computing device can obtain the current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device from other devices besides itself, or it can obtain the current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device directly from the heat dissipation device. The specific implementation method of obtaining the current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device in the embodiments of this application is not limited.

[0149] S520: The CPU in the computing device determines the current rated number of rewrite / read operations based on the current rotation speed of the heat sink, from the correspondence between multiple rotation speed levels of the heat sink and multiple rated rewrite / read operations of the hard drive.

[0150] The current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device is the current rotation speed obtained in S510.

[0151] It should be noted that the above-mentioned corresponding relationship can be a corresponding relationship created in stage 1.

[0152] It should be noted that the above-mentioned corresponding relationship can be a corresponding relationship created in stage 1.

[0153] The current rated rewrite / read times of the hard disk are the rewrite / read times of the hard disk caused by the computing device itself, that is, the current rated rewrite / read times of the hard disk are the rewrite / read times of the hard disk (such as the rewrite / read times of the data per unit time) when the hard disk is vibrated by the internal vibration of the computing device.

[0154] The specific implementation of S520 is shown in Figure 8 S520a-S520c.

[0155] S520a, the CPU in the computing device obtains a corresponding relationship between a plurality of rotation speed gears of the heat dissipation device and a plurality of rated rewrite / read times of the hard disk.

[0156] It should be noted that the above-mentioned corresponding relationship can be obtained by the computing device from other devices other than the computing device, or can be obtained by the computing device from the local (such as the hard disk), and specifically, the application embodiments do not limit the obtaining method of the above-mentioned corresponding relationship.

[0157] It should be understood that the environment in which the computing device is located during the initialization process does not have vibration, that is, during the initialization process, the vibration received by the hard disk is only the internal vibration of the computing device.

[0158] S520b, the CPU in the computing device determines a second rotation speed gear from the corresponding relationship according to the current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device. The second rotation speed gear contains the current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device.

[0159] For example, assuming that the above-mentioned corresponding relationship is shown in Table 2; the current rotation speed of the heat dissipation device is 500 revolutions / second; at this time, the rotation speed gear of [300 revolutions / second, 600 revolutions / second] in the corresponding relationship includes 500 revolutions / second, that is, the CPU determines the rotation speed gear of [300 revolutions / second, 600 revolutions / second] as the second rotation speed gear.

[0160] S520c, the CPU in the computing device determines the rated rewrite / read times corresponding to the second rotation speed gear as the current rated rewrite / read times of the hard disk.

[0161] For example, based on the example in S520b, the second rotation speed range is [300 rpm, 600 rpm]; in the corresponding relationship shown in Table 2, the rotation speed range [300 rpm, 600 rpm] corresponds to the current number of times of rewriting / reading of 2, i.e., the current number of times of rewriting / reading of 2 is determined as the current number of times of rewriting / reading of the hard disk.

[0162] In S530, the CPU in the computing device acquires the current number of times of rewriting / reading of the hard disk.

[0163] The current number of times of rewriting / reading is the number of times of rewriting / reading of the hard disk caused by the computing device itself and the environment in which the computing device is located. Specifically, when the hard disk is affected by both the internal vibration of the computing device and the external vibration of the computing device, the number of times of rewriting / reading of the hard disk is affected.

[0164] It should be understood that the specific implementation of the CPU acquiring the current number of times of rewriting of the hard disk is that when the head in the hard disk fails to write data to the disk in the hard disk, the controller in the hard disk sends the write failure event to the CPU, wherein the write event includes the type (i.e., the reason) of the write failure, such as a vibration-caused write failure event or an over-temperature-caused write failure event, and the time at which the event occurs. Then, the CPU counts the number of vibration-caused write failure events received within a unit of time, and stores the write failure events in a log.

[0165] It should be noted that the current number of times of rewriting / reading is obtained by the computing device at the current rotation speed of the cooling device in S510 (e.g., 500 rpm). That is, the current rotation speed of the cooling device used to determine the second rotation speed range in S520b is the same as the current rotation speed of the cooling device used to obtain the current number of times of rewriting / reading.

[0166] For example, assuming that the current rotation speed of the cooling device is 500 rpm, and the current number of times of rewriting / reading determined based on the corresponding relationship in Table 2 is 2 times; at this time, the computing device counts the number of times of rewriting / reading of the hard disk within 1 minute at the current rotation speed of the cooling device of 500 rpm, which is 6 times, and then determines the number of times of rewriting / reading of 6 times as the current number of times of rewriting / reading.

[0167] In S540, the CPU in the computing device determines the difference between the current number of times of rewriting / reading of the hard disk in the computing device and the current number of times of rewriting / reading.

[0168] It should be noted that the implementation of S540 is similar to the specific implementation of S220, and for the specific description of S540, reference can be made to the related description of S220, which will not be described herein.

[0169] S550, the CPU in the computing device outputs prompt information according to a difference between the current rated rewrite / read times and the current rewrite / read times of the hard disk in the computing device.

[0170] The prompt information is used to prompt an influence degree of vibration in an environment where the computing device is currently located on rewrite / read data of the hard disk of the computing device; that is, the prompt information is used to represent the influence degree of external vibration of the computing device on rewrite / read data of the hard disk.

[0171] The specific implementation of S550 includes the following steps, as shown in Figure 9

[0172] S550a, the CPU in the computing device determines whether the difference is greater than or equal to a first preset difference.

[0173] The difference is a difference between the current rated rewrite / read times and the current rewrite / read times of the hard disk.

[0174] When the difference is greater than or equal to the first preset difference, S550b is performed.

[0175] When the difference is less than the first preset difference, S550c is performed.

[0176] S550b, the CPU in the computing device outputs first prompt information.

[0177] The first prompt information is used to prompt an influence degree of vibration in an environment where the computing device is currently located on rewrite / read data of the hard disk.

[0178] After the CPU performs S550b, the CPU performs an end action.

[0179] S550c, the CPU in the computing device determines whether the difference is greater than or equal to a second preset difference. The second preset difference is less than the first preset difference.

[0180] When the difference is greater than or equal to the second preset difference, S550d is performed.

[0181] When the difference is less than the second preset difference, it means that the vibration in the environment where the computing device is currently located has a small influence on the rewrite / read times of the hard disk, and the CPU in the computing device performs an end action.

[0182] S550d, the CPU in the computing device outputs second prompt information.

[0183] ​It should be noted that the influence degree represented by the second prompt information is lower than the influence degree represented by the first prompt information, wherein the influence degree is the influence degree of the vibration in the current environment of the computing device on the rewriting / reading of the hard disk, that is, the influence degree of the external vibration of the computing device on the rewriting / reading of the hard disk.

[0184] The embodiment of the present application compares the difference between the current rated rewriting / reading times of the hard disk and the current rewriting / reading times with the first preset difference and the second preset difference respectively, and outputs different prompt information according to the size of the difference, that is, the CPU in the computing device outputs prompt information with different levels according to the size of the difference, so that the user can more accurately master the influence degree of the external vibration of the computing device on the rewriting / reading of the hard disk.

[0185] Optionally, the output modes of the first prompt information and the second prompt information are different, for example, the first prompt information can display warning information with a font of a first color in the form of a pop-up box or a short message; and the second prompt information displays early warning information in the form of an interface with a font of a second color, wherein the brightness of the first color is higher than that of the second color.

[0186] The embodiment of the present application displays the first prompt information and the second prompt information in different ways and with different fonts, so that the user can more clearly feel the influence degree of the external vibration of the computing device on the rewriting / reading of the hard disk.

[0187] Optionally, the S510-S550 are periodically executed, when the number of the second prompt information continuously output by the CPU in the computing device is large, the rewriting / reading times of the hard disk will be greatly affected, so the method of outputting the prompt information further includes S550e-S550f.

[0188] S550e, the CPU in the computing device judges whether the number of the second prompt information continuously output is greater than a preset threshold.

[0189] When the number of the second prompt information continuously output is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the CPU performs an ending action.

[0190] Since when the number of the second prompt information output is large, the rewriting / reading times of the hard disk will be greatly affected, thereby causing a relatively high probability of failure of the hard disk, it is necessary to monitor the number of the second prompt information continuously output, that is, when the number of the second prompt information continuously output is greater than the preset threshold, the following S550f is performed.

[0191] S550f, the CPU in the computing device outputs third prompt information.

[0192] The influence degree represented by the third prompt information is higher than the influence degree represented by the second prompt information.

[0193] It should be noted that the third prompt information can be the same as the first prompt information, or can be different from the first prompt information.

[0194] The embodiment of the present application monitors the number of the second prompt information that appears continuously, and when the number of the second prompt information that is output continuously is greater than a preset threshold, the CPU outputs the third prompt information whose influence degree is higher than the second prompt information, so that the user can timely grasp the influence degree of the rotation in the environment where the computing device is located on the rewriting / reading data of the hard disk.

[0195] Optionally, the execution subject of S520-S550 can also be the hard disk controller of the computing device, and at this time, the hard disk controller receives the current rotating speed of the cooling device in the computing device sent by the CPU in the computing device after S510.

[0196] Embodiment 2

[0197] When the number of rewriting / reading times of the hard disk occurring in a short time exceeds a certain number, the rewriting / reading times data of the hard disk is greatly affected, that is, the shorter the time of the predetermined number (target rewriting / reading times described below) of rewriting / reading events occurring in the hard disk, the higher the damage degree of the hard disk. Based on this, as shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides another hard disk warning method; the method comprises: S610-S620. Figure 10

[0198] S610, the computing device obtains the current rated rewriting / reading times and the current rewriting / reading times of the hard disk in the computing device.

[0199] It should be noted that the specific implementation of S610 is consistent with the specific implementation of S110, and the specific description of S610 can refer to the specific description of S110 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0200] S620, when the current rewriting / reading times of the hard disk is greater than or equal to the target rewriting / reading times of the hard disk, the computing device outputs the prompt information according to the target time length.

[0201] The target rewriting / reading times is greater than the current rated rewriting / reading times of the hard disk.

[0202] ​It should be noted that when the current rewrite / read times of the hard disk is greater than or equal to the target rewrite / read times, at this time, the hard disk is greatly affected by the vibration in the environment of the computing device, and the probability of failure of the hard disk is relatively high; that is, the target rewrite / read times is used to represent the critical value of the probability of failure of the hard disk caused by the vibration in the environment of the computing device. That is, the target rewrite / read times is the minimum value of the rewrite / read times of the hard disk caused by the vibration in the environment of the computing device.

[0203] The target rewrite / read times can be preset or determined according to the current rated rewrite / read times, and the specific manner of determining the target rewrite / read times is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0204] It should be noted that when the target rewrite / read times is determined according to the current rated rewrite / read times, because the rated rewrite / read times corresponding to the cooling device in the computing device at different speeds are different, the target rewrite / read times determined by different rated rewrite / read times are also different; the specific is as follows:

[0205] When the current rated rewrite / read times is the first rated rewrite / read times, the target rewrite / read times is the first target rewrite / read times; wherein the first rated rewrite / read times is the rated rewrite / read times of the hard disk in the computing device at the first speed.

[0206] When the current rated rewrite / read times is the second rated rewrite / read times, the target rewrite / read times is the second target rewrite / read times; wherein the second rated rewrite / read times is the rated rewrite / read times of the hard disk in the computing device at the second speed.

[0207] It should be noted that the first target rewrite / read times and the second target rewrite / read times are different; the ratio of the first target rewrite / read times to the first rated rewrite / read times is the same as the ratio of the second target rewrite / read times to the second rated rewrite / read times. That is, the target rewrite / read times is a preset multiple of the current rated rewrite / read times, and the preset multiple is greater than 1.

[0208] For example, assuming that the preset multiple is 2; when the current rated rewrite times is 5, the target rewrite times is 10; when the current rated rewrite times is 20, the target rewrite times is 40.

[0209] The target time length is the difference between the occurrence time of the Mth rewrite / read event and the occurrence time of the 1st rewrite / read event in the N rewrite / read events; wherein N is the current number of rewrite / read, and M is the target number of rewrite / read. That is, the target time length is the time length from the 1st rewrite / read event to the target number of rewrite / read event in the current number of rewrite / read events.

[0210] For example, assuming that the target number of rewrite is 2 times, and the current number of rewrite is 3 times, which are rewrite event A, rewrite event B and rewrite event C in turn. Among them, the occurrence time of rewrite event A is 2022-12-12 12:00:00, the occurrence time of rewrite event B is 2022-12-12 12:01:00, and the occurrence time of rewrite event C is 2022-12-12 12:01:30; then, the target time length is the difference between the occurrence time of the first two rewrite events (i.e. rewrite event A and rewrite event B) in rewrite event A, rewrite event B and rewrite event C (2022-12-12 12:01:00 and 2022-12-12 12:00:00, the difference is 1 minute), that is, the target time length is 1 minute.

[0211] The specific implementation of S620 is assumed that the target number of rewrite is 10 times, the target time length is 30 seconds, the current rated number of rewrite is 5 times, the current number of rewrite is 12 times; the computing device outputs "the current rated number of rewrite is 5 times, the actual number of rewrite is 12 times, of which the first 10 times of rewrite occurs within 30 seconds, please handle in time!!!".

[0212] It should be noted that the determination method of the current rated number of rewrite and the current number of rewrite is the specific implementation of S510-S530 in stage 2 of embodiment 1; the creation of the corresponding relationship between the rated number of rewrite and the speed of the heat dissipation device is referred to stage 1 of embodiment 1; here is not repeated.

[0213] The specific implementation of S620 is shown in Table 3 as follows:

[0214] When the target time length is greater than or equal to the first preset time length, the computing device outputs the fourth prompt information; wherein the fourth prompt information is used to prompt the influence degree of vibration in the environment where the computing device is currently located on the hard disk rewrite / read data in the computing device.

[0215] When the target time length is equal to the second preset time length and less than the first preset time length, the computing device outputs fifth prompt information; wherein, the influence degree represented by the fifth prompt information is lower than the influence degree represented by the fourth prompt information, and the influence degree is the influence degree of vibration in the current environment of the computing device on rewriting / reading data of the hard disk in the computing device.

[0216] Table 3

[0217]

[0218] For example, assuming that the first preset time length is 10 minutes, the second preset time length is 1 hour, and the target rewriting times are 20 times; when the target time length is 8 minutes, the computing device outputs "the vibration in the current environment of the computing device seriously affects the stability of the hard disk A, please handle immediately!!!". When the target time length is 45 minutes, the computing device outputs "the vibration in the current environment of the computing device affects the stability of the hard disk A, please handle in time!!!".

[0219] Optionally, the fourth prompt information and the fifth prompt information are output in different ways, for example, the fourth prompt information can display the warning information with the first color font through the pop-up box or the short message; and the fifth prompt information displays the early warning information through the interface with the second color font, wherein, the brightness of the first color is higher than that of the second color.

[0220] The embodiments of the present application display the fourth prompt information and the fifth prompt information in different ways and with different fonts, so that the user can more clearly feel the influence degree of the external vibration of the computing device on the rewriting / reading data of the hard disk.

[0221] The embodiments of the present application output the prompt information according to the target time length when the current rewriting / reading times of the hard disk are greater than or equal to the target rewriting / reading times of the hard disk; wherein, the target time length is the difference between the occurrence time of the Mth rewriting / reading event in N rewriting / reading events and the occurrence time of the first rewriting / reading event; the N is the current rewriting / reading times, and the M is the target rewriting / reading times; so that the user can timely grasp the situation that more rewriting events occur in a short time, and then timely prevent; thus, the maintenance cost of the hard disk is reduced.
