Abstract
A host/device interface coupled between a host and a storage device, and including a data interface and a Quality of Service (QoS) and configured to communicate a QoS signal with the host. The QoS interface cooperates with the data interface to selectively manage a storage QoS on the storage device. A method is provided for storing data on a data medium including receiving a Quality of Service (QoS) command; selecting a portion of the data medium on which to store a data stream; forming a stream chunk from a portion of the data stream; configuring a transducer to store the stream chunk on the data medium in response to the QoS command; and storing the data on the data medium, such that the storing conforms to a QoS command value.
