Abstract
A storage system and method for improving utilization of a communication channel between a host and the storage system are provided. In one embodiment, a host sends a request for workload pattern information to the data storage device, and the data storage device provides the requested workload pattern information to the host. Based on that workload pattern information, the host queues commands to be sent to the data storage device to improve utilization of the communication channel between the host and the data storage device. Other embodiments are provided.
