Abstract
An access device is capable of accessing storage devices in a computer, which includes a controller, a first interface, a second interface, a third interface, and a power detector. The first interface connects the controller to a storage device of the computer. The second interface connects the controller to a plug-in storage device. The third interface is a combination of the first interface and the second interface and connects the controller to the computer. The power detector detects the computer at power-on or not. When the computer is powered on, the controller bypasses the first interface and the second interface to the third interface. When the computer is at doze or shutdown, the controller actively controls devices connected to the first interface and the second interface.
