Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a method and a device for displaying an external state of using SATA, and in particular to a method for using SATA in a pass-through, a storage device, and an external storage device. The current between the storage units / change = into the unit-instruction circuit is operated to display the amount of external storage fire induced by SATA. Xia's usage status [Prior technology] Please refer to the first picture. In the personal computer architecture, storage devices such as hard disks, CD-ROMs (CDROM), and DVD players are used. The most commonly used connection interface is to convert 1 3 94 interface H2, 210 into IDE interface 12, that is, Parallel ΑΤΑ Interface.

Description of the invention (2) It has been developed, and its speed can be up to 1.5Gb / sec (150MB / sec), or even up to 3Gb / sec. However, so far, the SATA interface has not reserved a pin dedicated to the signal indicating circuit. In order to understand the use status of the external storage device, the industry tried to use the main controller of the personal computer 200 ( The host controller) leads a signal line 22 to 8 and the external indicator 1 1 4 of the external storage device 100, as shown in the second figure. Through the USB interface, the 1394 interface is converted into the satA interface 130 of the storage unit 110, and the storage unit 1 is provided with power by the power input unit 1 16. When the main controller controls the storage unit ^ 10 to operate, the main controller sends a message command to make the indicator light 4 fire. However, this method must be between the external storage device and the individual, between 2000 and 2000. Adding more than 22 signal lines has increased user distress. In addition, there are eighteen more expensive solutions, as shown in the third figure, which is converted to the SATA interface 130 of the storage unit 11G through the # 古 \ 面 ^ and 1 3 94 interfaces. The two storages are connected to the pin interface 130 by a bridge IC1 with an indicator circuit pin. When the indicator circuit of the bridge ICU7 is connected, the bridge: ΐPC 2 reads the storage unit u0 to display the external connection.
