Abstract
A mechanism is provided for controlling a solid state disk. A failure detector detects a failure in the solid state disk. Responsive to failure detector detecting a failure, a status degrader sets a degraded status indicator for the solid state disk. Responsive to the degraded status indicator, a degraded status controller maintains the solid state disk in operation in a degraded operation mode.
