Abstract: A PCIe bridge transformation device and a method thereof are provided, which is adapted to a storage unit in a lock state. The transformation device includes a connecting unit, a PCIe interface and a bridge. The connecting unit is connected to the storage unit and the connecting unit receives an identification command from the storage unit. The PCIe interface is electrically connected to an electronic unit. The bridge is installed with a first firmware for identifying an identification command. When the identification command is an access validity command, the first firmware unlocks the lock state of the storage unit, wherein the storage unit includes a second firmware corresponding to the first firmware, and the second firmware produces the identification command.
