15. A method for maintaining hard disk drive performance comprising the following computer-executable acts:
-
configuring an operating system to receive a notification from a hard disk drive by way of a protocol extension associated with the hard disk drive, the notification is based at least in part upon parameters relating to the hard disk drive;
responding to the notification at the operating system with at least one command, the command employed to retrieve an action determined by the hard disk drive; and
performing the action at the operating system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
