An electronic system capable of detecting a number of hot-plug insertion/extraction cycles including a host device, at least one peripheral device, and at least one storage device is provided. The host device includes a controller and at least one connection socket. The controller has at least one detection pin. Each connection socket is coupled to a corresponding detection pin. The peripheral device includes at least one connector. The connector is hot-pluggably and electrically connected to the connection socket of the host device. The storage device stores the number of hot-plug insertion/extraction cycles of the connector in the peripheral device. When the connector of the peripheral device is connected to the connection socket of the host device, the controller reads the number of hot-plug insertion/extraction cycles from the storage device and increases the number of hot-plug insertion/extraction cycles of the connector in the peripheral device.
