Claims51
A method comprising:
- comparing a number of times a storage device has been powered up with an expected value;
- and
- detecting a cache disassociation in response to the comparing.
A method comprising:
- comparing a number of times a storage device has been spun up with an expected value;
- and
- detecting a cache disassociation in response to the comparing.
A system comprising:
- a platform including a cache;
- a storage device coupled to the platform;
- a comparator to compare a number of times the storage device has been spun up or a number of times the storage device has been powered up with an expected value;
- and
- a detector to detect a disassociation between the cache and the storage device in response to an output of the comparator.
