Abstract:
A self-healing Hard Disk Drive (HDD) system includes a chassis housing an HDD device self-healing subsystem coupled to an HDD data storage system that includes a plurality of HDD data storage resources. The HDD device self-healing subsystem prevents data from being stored on a first HDD data storage resource that is included in the plurality of HDD data storage resources included in the HDD data storage system. When the HDD device self-healing subsystem determines that data storage operations using a second HDD data storage resource that is included in the plurality of HDD data storage resources will be subsequently unavailable, it remaps logical addresses associated with the second HDD data storage resource to the first HDD data storage resource, and provides the data that was stored using the second HDD data storage resource on the first HDD data storage resource.
Abstract:
A hardware-type-based multi-component personality configuration system includes a first component stock including first hardware type components having a first hardware type, a second component stock including second hardware type components having a second hardware type that is different than the first hardware type, and a component configuration system. The component configuration system identifies computing device order(s) for computing device(s) that include a plurality of components, and determines that a respective personality configuration in the computing device order(s) for each of a first subset of the plurality components included in the computing device(s) may be provided by the first hardware type components. The component configuration system then instructs the provisioning of the first hardware type components in the computing device(s), and configures each of the first hardware type components to operate according to the respective personality configuration for each of the first subset of the plurality components.
Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for power loss protection of one or more storage resources may include receiving information from each of the one or more storage resources regarding power loss protection capabilities of such storage resource. The method may also include based on the information, repurposing, for each power loss protection capable storage resource, a communications channel between a logic device and such power loss protection capable storage resource for transmission of a respective early power-off warning signal for such power loss protection capable storage resource. The method may further include in response to a power event of a power supply unit for providing electrical energy to the one or more storage resources, asserting for each power loss protection capable storage resource its respective early power-off warning signal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for throughput optimization of a hard disk drive (HDD) using position error signaling (PES) that includes determining a PES for a HDD mounted in a chassis based on a dynamic disturbance. The method also includes calculating a critical parameter of the PES. The method further includes indicating a mechanical design modification of the HDD or the chassis if the critical parameter of the PES exceeds a pre-defined threshold.
Abstract:
A storage device write-read error reduction system includes a computing device that includes a storage device. The storage device determines, at a temperature that is within a predefined temperature range, that a storage device background operation should be performed and, in response, identifies data that is stored in the storage device and that was written to the storage device outside the predefined temperature range. The storage device then prioritizes the data that was written to the storage device outside the predefined temperature range over data that was written to the storage device within the predefined temperature range and, based on that prioritization, performs the storage device background operation to rewrite the data to the storage device.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for implementing one-time programmable features for storage devices. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: initialize a one-time programmable (OTP) security storage device; and transmit a command to the OTP security storage device, where the OTP security device is configured to be set in security or non-security mode in response to the command, and where the OTP security storage device is configured to deny or ignore any subsequent command to set the OTP security storage device in a security mode or a non-security mode.
Abstract:
A performance-based workload/storage allocation system includes a workload/storage allocation device coupled via controller device(s) to storage devices that each include a respective storage device attribute structure having storage device attributes that identify performance capabilities of that storage device. The workload storage/allocation device identifies a first workload that requires storage resources, and retrieves first workload performance requirement(s) associated with the first workload. The workload storage/allocation device then retrieves the storage device attributes that identify the performance capabilities of each of the storage devices via the controller device(s) and from the respective storage device attribute structure included in each of the storage devices, and uses them to determine that at least one of the plurality of storage devices includes performance capabilities that satisfy the first workload performance requirement(s). The workload/storage allocation device then allocates the at least one of the plurality of storage devices for use with the first workload.
