1. A method implemented on a host having at least one processor, a storage and a communication platform to connect to a network for evaluating a storage medium, the method comprising:
receiving a user request to evaluate a storage medium coupled to a first controller via a user interface of the host;
transmitting a command to the first controller in communication with the host to obtain a binding history table associated with the storage medium from the first controller; and
determining whether the storage medium is a second-hand storage medium based on the binding history table associated with the storage medium, wherein the determining whether the storage medium is a second-hand storage medium based on the binding history table associated with the storage medium includes:
determining whether there is at least one second controller different from the first controller in the binding history table; and
determining that the storage medium is the second-hand storage medium in response to a determination that there is the at least one second controller different from the first controller in the binding history table.
