STORAGE DEVICE, HOST DEVICE, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18748097 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE, HOST DEVICE, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for operating a host device that involves testing specific areas within a storage device.
- The method involves determining which areas within the storage device need to be tested, whether they are mapped or unmapped.
- Once the areas are identified, a test request is generated for those specific areas.
- The generated test request is then transmitted to the storage device for testing.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in data storage systems to ensure the reliability and performance of the storage devices. - It can be applied in quality control processes for storage devices during manufacturing.
Problems Solved: - Ensures that all areas within a storage device are properly tested for functionality. - Helps in identifying any potential issues or defects in specific areas of the storage device.
Benefits: - Improves the overall reliability and performance of storage devices. - Enhances quality control processes in manufacturing.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Storage Device Testing in Data Systems" This technology can be utilized by companies that manufacture storage devices to improve the quality control processes and ensure the reliability of their products. It can also be beneficial for data centers and IT companies that rely on storage devices for their operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the testing process for storage devices? - This method allows for targeted testing of specific areas within the storage device, ensuring thorough and efficient testing procedures. 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in data storage systems? - Implementing this technology can lead to increased reliability and performance of storage devices, ultimately benefiting data storage systems as a whole.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of operating a host device according to the present technology includes determining an area to be tested among a mapped area and an unmapped area included in a storage area of a storage device, generating a test request corresponding to the determined area, and transmitting the generated test request to the storage device.
