Abstract
A data storage device comprising a non-volatile storage medium configured to store data, a data port configured to receive and transmit data between a host computer system and the data storage device, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive, via the data port, a notification activation, and receive, via the data port, a command data structure comprising a command for the data storage device to perform an operation. The controller is further configured to in response to receiving the command data structure, perform the operation, the operation being defined by an in-progress state and a completed state, and in response to determining that the operation is in the completed state and in response to determining the notification activation, transmit, via the data port, a response data structure comprising an indication that the operation is in the completed state.
