Abstract
A method and apparatus for enhancing reliability of a data storage device. The storage device controller is configured to convert a typical UBER-type event to an MTBF (FFR) event by converting a data error event into a drive functional failure. In this context, the converted error is not counted as an UBER type event for purposes of determining the reliability of the storage device.
