Abstract
A method is disclosed to adjust error thresholds in a data storage and retrieval system. The method supplies a data storage and retrieval system comprising memory and microcode, wherein that microcode comprises one or more default error thresholds. The method determines if the memory comprises one or more operational error thresholds. If the method determines that the memory comprises one or more operational error thresholds, then the method operates the data storage and retrieval system using those one or more operational error thresholds. Alternatively, if the method determines that the memory does not comprise one or more operational error thresholds, then the method sets the one or more default error thresholds as the one or more operational error thresholds.
