Abstract
With embodiments of the invention, a more robust solution is provided using a storage driver that may already be used for the platforms operating system. This is efficient because the storage driver typically already monitors storage drive access requests, and thus knows when traffic is outstanding (performance may be critical) or when it's not outstanding (and power may be saved).
