Abstract
A method of controlling a computing device includes detecting a user input request to disengage a drive component from a computing device, the computing device comprising a multiple-drive storage system having a plurality of drive components forming a single logical unit, and determining whether or not disengaging the drive component would cause failure of the multiple-drive storage system. The method includes disallowing disengagement of the drive component from the computing device in response to determining that disengaging the drive component would cause failure of the multiple-drive storage system, and allowing disengagement of the drive component from the computing device in response to determining that disengaging the drive component would not cause failure of the multiple-drive storage system.
