Abstract: A storage apparatus and a storing method are provided. The storage apparatus includes one or more storage devices, an interface expander and a master controller. The storage device includes a storage module, a storage control circuit and a ready/busy pin. The storage control circuit outputs an operational state signal according to an operational state of the storage module through the ready/busy pin. The master controller outputs an interface signal to indicate the interface expander to provide the operational state signal. The interface expander detects the ready/busy pin of the storage device to receive and transmit the operational state signal from the storage device to the master controller according to the interface signal. The master controller determines whether the storage device is in a busy state or a ready state according to the operational state signal, and accordingly outputs a control signal to control operations of the storage devices.

Abstract: A method of judging problem storage regions adapted for a flash memory storage device includes steps of: sending a writing order to a flash memory chip for writing a written data to an appointed storage paging; when the flash memory chip beginning writing the written data to the appointed storage paging, getting the first time; when the flash memory chip finishing writing the written data to the appointed storage paging, getting the second time; calculating a writing time according to the first time and the second time; if the writing time not coincident with a standard value, then labeling the appointed storage paging as a problem storage region and copying the written data to a backup paging; updating a Mapping Table.

Abstract: A computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device, which is not only suitable for a computer chassis with the BTX specification, but also able to provide a desktop computer an attractive appearance. The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device includes a computer chassis, a front bezel, an inlet airflow guiding member, an airflow guiding space, and a plurality of inlet airflow openings. The airflow guiding space and the inlet airflow openings provide a low airflow impedance inlet that facilitates the movement of the incoming inlet airflow. The front cooling fan is thereby capable of providing the high power components of the desktop computer with low temperature air at a high velocity.
