This paper describes how a storage miniport driver for the Windows 7 operating system can support Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) asynchronous notification for ATA Packet Interface (ATAPI) devices.

This paper is for hardware vendors who create storage products that include supporting software applications. This information is useful for storage driver developers who plan to support SATA asynchronous notification for ATAPI devices in their storage miniport drivers.

Included in this white paper:

  • Device notification for optical devices
  • Supporting asynchronous notification in a storage miniport driver
  • Best practices
