ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of monitoring a hard disk drive (HDD) include a HDD motor state detector for detecting the state of the motor of the HDD. Because the control information on the HDD is not acquired while the motor of the HDD is stopped, the HDD is not accessed and the motor is not operated. This structure can provide a HDD monitoring apparatus that prevents troubles induced during the motor is running.
