Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, using a processor of a host device, that the host device is busy with respect to an impending data transfer to a connectable storage device operatively coupled to the host device; and communicating, to the connectable storage device, data that triggers an indicator of the connectable storage device. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- detecting, using a processor of a host device, that the host device is busy with respect to an impending data transfer to a connectable storage device operatively coupled to the host device;
- and
- communicating, to the connectable storage device, data that triggers an indicator of the connectable storage device.
A host device, comprising:
- a display device;
- a communication port;
- a processor operatively coupled to the display device and the communication port;
- and
- a memory operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor executes code in the memory to:
- detect that the host device is busy with respect to an impending data transfer to a connectable storage device operatively coupled to the communication port;
- and
- communicate, to the connectable storage device, data that triggers an indicator of the connectable storage device.

A program product, comprising:
- a storage device that includes code that is executable by a processor, the code comprising:
- code that detects, using a processor of a host device, that the host device is busy with respect to an impending data transfer to a connectable storage device operatively coupled to the host device;
- and
- code that communicates, to the connectable storage device, data that triggers an indicator of the connectable storage device.
