    摘要: Many storage devices (or drives) include a mechanism, such as a processor, to execute internal maintenance process(es) that maintain data integrity and long-term drive health. One example of such an internal maintenance process is a background media scan (BMS). However, on busy systems, the BMS may not have an opportunity to execute, which can damage long term drive performance. In one embodiment, a method includes sending a command from a host device to a storage device. The storage device can responsively run an internal maintenance process of the storage device. In one embodiment, the internal maintenance process can be an internal maintenance process such as a background media scan.
