Abstract
A storage device failure verification method may include receiving a message from an operating system indicative of an operational failure associated with a storage device. The method may further include determining, responsive to receiving the message from the operating system, whether one or more corrupted sectors are reported by the storage device based upon device diagnostic data received from the storage device. The method may further include determining, responsive to determining that no corrupted sectors are reported by the storage device, a timing value between storage device errors associated with the storage device during a predetermined time window. The method may further include sending a notification indicative of a failure of the storage device based on the timing value being less than a predetermined threshold value.
