ABSTRACT:
A method for testing a data storage system. The data storage system contains a buffer area, firmware and a storage area. The method including: selecting at least one product testing item, commanding the firmware to execute a starting process in order to transfer the storage system from general working mode to testing mode, commanding the firmware to execute a testing process corresponding to the selected product testing item, the executed testing process generates a testing result, displaying the result; and commanding the firmware to execute an ending process in order to return the storage to general working mode. Users use an application program to give commands to the firmware after requesting disc access service from the computer operation system. The buffer area can be a RAM (Random Access Memory). The testing result can be displayed on a computer monitor.
