SENSING POTENTIAL FAILURE EVENT FOR A DATA STORAGE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of fault monitoring data storage devices in a multiple-data-storage-devices enclosure (the “
- enclosure”
), comprising;
receiving a storage access request;
identifying a first data storage device as being targeted by the storage access request, wherein the enclosure includes two or more data storage devices including the first data storage device;
performing an access operation according to the storage access request on the first data storage device; and
updating a record of a fault sensor assigned to the first data storage device by monitoring the performing of the access operation.

12. A method of responding to a potential impending failure of a data storage device in a multiple-data-storage-devices enclosure, comprising:
-
determining a first risk factor of the data storage device; determining whether the first risk factor surpasses a threshold; selecting a destination data storage device from amongst data storage devices across two or more multiple-data-storage-devices enclosures; and initiating a data protection process to copy data from the data storage device to the destination data storage device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
