A computer device and a data protection method therefor are provided. The computer device includes an embedded controller, a data storage, and a power module. The embedded controller includes a general-purpose input-output port. The data storage is coupled to the embedded controller through the general-purpose input-output port. The power module is coupled to the embedded controller. The embedded controller detects whether an abnormal shutdown event occurs. When the abnormal shutdown event occurs, the embedded controller informs the data storage to perform a buffered data storage operation through the general-purpose input-output port, so as to transfer buffered data in the data storage to a non-volatile storage area in the data storage, and the embedded controller controls the power module to maintain power supply to the data storage in a predetermined time period.

Computer device and data protection method therefor

A hard disk monitoring method and a hard disk monitoring system are provided. The hard disk monitoring method includes: determining whether a speaker outputs a sound source by using a host system; if the speaker outputs the sound source, determining whether a performance of the hard disk is lower than a threshold by using the host system; if the performance of the hard disk is lower than the threshold, adjusting the sound source signal of the sound source by using the host system. Therefore, the hard disk monitoring method and the hard disk monitoring system inspect the performance of the hard disk when the speaker outputs the sound source. If the performance of the hard disk drops, the volume outputted by the speaker is dynamically turned down to stop the performance drop of the hard disk caused by the vibration generated by the speaker outputting the sound source.
