Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for analyzing data storage devices. The present disclosure employs a 'canary' test that selects multiple storage devices and tests the same for a predetermined period of time. By analyzing the statuses of the storage devices monitored and recorded during the applicable tests, the present disclosure can generate an analytical result regarding the characteristics of the storage devices. The analytical result can be presented to an operator in a meaningful way so as to enable him or her to make an informed decision when utilizing a storage device with characteristics similar to the tested storage devices.
