Abstract
A data storage device includes a primary storage media, a drive storage controller electrically coupled to media recording electronics and a controller-override mechanism. The controller-override mechanism is selectively controllable by a user to override control actions of the drive storage controller to prevent the drive storage controller from altering the primary storage media at a time when the storage device is otherwise configured for nominal data storage operations.
