ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for copying data of a disc drive are provided. The method includes: determining whether the first disc drive has a predetermined jumper pin connection by identifying which of a plurality of jumper pins in a jumper block of the first disc drive are connected, the jumper block being used to determine an operation mode of the first disc drive; transmitting a copy command from the first disc drive to the second disc drive if the first disc drive has the predetermined jumper pin connection; and copying data recorded in the first disc drive to the second disc drive in response to the copy command. Accordingly, it is possible to copy data recorded in a first hard disc drive (HDD) to a second HDD without the aid of an additional host.
