Abstract
A data storage device includes a controller, a data storage unit, a microprocessor, and a network communication unit. The controller includes a firmware. The data storage unit includes a first system storage sector and a second system storage sector. The first system storage sector stores an original operating system, and the second system storage sector stores a backup operating system. When the data storage device receives an operating system differential file from a cloud management platform, the firmware updates the backup operating system in the second system storage sector to obtain a new version of backup operating system. Accordingly, the backup operating system of the data storage device can be quickly updated by downloading a small file size of the operating system differential file so as to enhance the convenience for the updating of the backup operating system.
