Abstract
A device and a method for simulating a hard disk are disclosed. The device has a core logic chip, a main memory module and a setting module. The setting module is used to set the main memory module to have a memory access area and a hard disk access area. The core logic chip has a memory controller and a conversion interface controller for controlling data reading of the memory access area and the hard disk access area, respectively. When the core logic chip receives a read/write signal sent to the main memory module from a computer system, it determines whether this read/write signal is a memory read/write signal or a hard disk read/write signal. If the read/write signal is for memory, it is sent to the memory controller; if the read/write signal is for hard disk, it is sent to the conversion interface controller.
