Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention pertain to determining the reliability of a disk drive. According to one embodiment, values for a parameter associated with a particular type of component of the disk drive are detected while simulating customer usage of the disk drive. The values are stored to enable analyzing the values for statistical variations to determine the reliability of the disk drive.
