Multi-session concurrent testing for multi-actuator drive

A method for testing a multiple-actuator storage device, comprising:

• accessing a first storage device of a group comprising at least one storage device, the first storage device comprising at least a first and a second logical unit stored therein;
• concurrently performing a first group of test operations on the first logical unit and a second group of test operations on the second logical unit;
• monitoring for an interruption during the performing the group of test operations on either the first or the second logical unit;
• during the monitoring, if it is determined that there is currently an interruption on one of the first or second logical units, temporarily suspending performing the respective test operations on the other logical unit;
• and
• continuing to monitor for the interruption, and upon determining that the interruption is not currently active, resuming concurrently performing the test operations on the first and second logical units according to the respective groups of test operations.
