Abstract
A computer program embodied on a computer readable storage medium is disclosed for dependently adjusting at least three operating levels of a disk drive by dependently adjusting a plurality of disk drive parameters. The computer program receives control input from one or more sources, such as an end user, an environmental sensor, or the disk drive, wherein the control input for adjusting at least three operating levels of the disk drive in a dependent manner. In response to the control input, the computer program adjusts a plurality of parameter settings in the disk drive in a dependent manner. In one embodiment, the operating levels dependently adjusted by the control input comprise a performance level, a capacity level and a robustness level.
