Abstract:
Provided is a storage apparatus that detects abnormalities of a hard disk caused by the instantaneous power failure of a low voltage power supply. An effective value reduction detecting circuit transmits a detection signal, when the voltage of a low voltage power supply is lower than specific voltage. CPU memorizes time t1 to a flash memory. Also, CPU memorizes time t2, when recovering low voltage power supply 13 on proper voltage. Then, CPU computes period of time T, which is time between time t1 and t2. If the computed period of time T is within a range from first period of time T1 to the second period of time T2, CPU operates a voltage switch and re-supply the power supply to the hard disk. If not within the range, CPU does not re-supply power to the hard disk.
