  • Techniques for Background Testing a Hard Disk Drive
    Publication number: 20090083580
    Abstract: A technique for background testing a hard disk drive, when an associated system is powered and the hard disk drive is available, includes receiving an interrupt test indication that indicates that the background testing of the hard disk drive is to be interrupted. The technique also includes discontinuing, at a current test location, the background testing of the hard disk drive in response to the interrupt test indication. Finally, current test results are saved in response to the interrupt test indication.
