An apparatus and method are provided to monitor the current temperature of a hard drive in a computer system protect, and protect the hard drive from being overheated. The apparatus includes a thermal sensor and a data input/output module. The hard drive stores at least one application program. The thermal sensor senses a current temperature of the hard drive. When the thermal sensor senses that the current temperature of the hard drive ascends to a first preset temperature, the data input/output module ceases the hard drive from being accessed. When the thermal sensor senses that the current temperature of the hard drive descends to a second preset temperature, the data input/output module allows the hard drive to be accessed.
