Technologies for storage discovery and reallocation

Abstract

Technologies for storage discovery and reallocation include a compute device. The compute device is to receive, from a data storage sled, storage device data from a storage device located on the data storage sled. The storage device data includes storage device self-test data that defines a result of a self-test performed by the storage device. The compute device is also to determine, in response to the storage device self-test data, whether the storage device fails to satisfy a performance threshold. Further, the compute device is to generate, in response to a determination that the storage device fails to satisfy the performance threshold, an adjustment message for the storage device. The adjustment message instructs the storage device to adjust a performance parameter of the storage device. The compute device is also to send the adjustment message to the storage device.
