15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, via a connector of a data logger device, log data from a corresponding connector of a storage device while the data logger device is powered by the storage device via the connector and while the storage device is coupled to an access device through an interface, the log data comprises status information of the storage device at a time of failure of the storage device; receiving control data from a remote device, wherein the control data indicates an operating mode of the data logger device; in response to the control data indicating a first mode, storing the log data in a memory of the data logger device without transmitting the log data from the data logger device to the remote device; in response to the control data indicating a second mode; accessing the log data from the memory, transmitting the log data via a wireless interface of the data logger device to the remote device while the storage device is coupled to the access device through the interface, and performing failure analysis on the log data at the remote device to determine a cause of failure of the storage device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
