Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for dynamically altering accessing of storage drives based on the technological limits of the drives. Operating parameters are set for each drive based on the technological limits for accessing that drive's type of technology. The operating parameters are then monitored during accessing of each one of the storage drives. The ones of the storage drives that have exceeded the operating parameters are identified. The accessing of the identified storage drives is altered so that none of the storage drives exceeds the operating parameters.
