Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, and data storage devices for using data storage device operational profiles for interface-based performance leveling are described. Data storage devices are connected to a virtual storage manager using network or storage bus connections. Comparisons of the data processing speed and interface speed of each data storage device and its connection may be used to determine an active device operational profile for each data storage device to reach a target aggregate performance. The device operational profiles may be sent to the data storage devices to change their operations, such as the handling of background processes.
