Abstract
A method is described that includes generating, by a controller of a storage device, operating statistics associated with an operating state of the storage device. The method includes receiving, by the controller and from a host device, a non-interrupt command frame that requests transfer of data blocks between the storage device and the host device. The method further includes, in response to receiving the non-interrupt command frame, generating, by the controller, a response frame associated with the non-interrupt command frame, wherein the response frame includes the operating statistics. The method includes transmitting, by the controller and to the host device, the response frame.
