In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor and a storage resource communicatively coupled to the processor. The storage resource may be configured to monitor one or more operating parameters of the storage resource indicative of vibration external to the storage resource affecting performance of the storage resource, determine whether the one or more operating parameters exceed respective threshold values, and in response to determining that the one or more operating parameters exceed a respective threshold value, communicate an indication from the storage resource to a subsystem of the information handling system that the storage resource is experiencing excessive vibration from sources external to the storage resource.
