    Abstract: A method for notifying a host to manage background activities in a data storage device is disclosed. The method includes: receiving a query from a host operation system (OS); sending to the host OS, in response to the query, a list of background tasks to be performed in a data storage device; receiving a threshold value for one or more of the background tasks from the host OS; setting a timeout value associated with the threshold value; determining and notifying the timeout value to the host OS; determining that the threshold value is reached for a background task; and notifying the host OS that the SSD may perform the background task in the data storage device after the timeout value expires.
