ABSTRACT:
A computer system and method for storing distinct data types is disclosed. The computer system includes a plurality of data storage devices wherein data of a first type may be stored on a first one of the data storage devices and data of a second type may be stored on at least another one of the data storage devices, wherein at least one of the data types requires controlling access thereto. The invention provides for ensuring the integrity of the data stored on the data storage devices. It also prevents misappropriation of data stored on the devices. The invention includes a switch which selects one of the data storage devices for use with a computer system. Selecting a data storage device activates and places it in an operational mode. The remaining data storage devices are placed into a non-operational mode. Upon selection of one of a data storage device, the computer system implements a complete hardware reset in order to ensure data from one storage device cannot be transferred to another one of a storage device and is not available to users of a another storage device. At least one of the data storage devices will require a password and login code in order to gain access.
