Abstract

A solid-state disk and a startup method are provided. The solid-state disk includes a control circuit, a firmware switching circuit, a first firmware storage unit, and a second firmware storage unit. The firmware switching circuit is coupled to the control circuit. The first firmware storage unit is coupled to the firmware switching circuit and stores a first firmware. The second firmware storage unit is coupled to the firmware switching circuit and stores a second firmware. The control circuit reads the first firmware storage unit or the second firmware storage unit according to whether the firmware switching circuit is triggered so as to startup according to the first firmware or the second firmware.
