Abstract
A device includes a connector and a detector device. The connector includes at least one first-type pin and at least one second-type pin. The connector is capable of being connected to a corresponding connector of a solid-state drive (SSD) device. The detector device controls the at least one first-type pin to be coupled to a first power supply voltage based on, at least in part, the at least one second-type pin is connected to a second power supply voltage while the corresponding connector of the SSD device is connected to the first connector. If the at least one second-type pin is detected as being connected to a third power supply voltage different from the second power supply voltage while the corresponding connector of the SSD device is connected to the first connector, the detector device controls the at least one first-type pin to be in a non-connected state.
