Abstract
In a data storage and retrieval system, a method and system for exchanging operation parameters between a data storage device and a storage device controller is disclosed. A memory device within the data storage device comprises operation parameter registers, which store operation parameters that are indicative of environmental conditions and characteristics of the memory device itself. The operation parameter registers may be readable and writable. To initiate an exchange of operation parameters, the storage device controller sends a command code indicative of an operation parameter exchange command and designates an address in the operation parameter registers to which operation parameters are to be written or from which operation parameters are to be read.
