Abstract
During a startup process of a host, a request is sent to a DSD to identify storage media of the DSD. Identification information is received from the DSD before executing a driver on the host for interfacing with the DSD. The identification information identifies a first storage media of the DSD in response to the request. A second storage media is later identified using the driver.
