Claim 0:
1. A host device, capable of being coupled with a storage device including a nonvolatile memory and a first controller, the nonvolatile memory including a plurality of blocks, the first controller being configured to determine whether the storage device is in a Read Only Mode,
the host device being connectable to a display,
the host device comprising:
a second controller configured to:
acquire a first value from the storage device, the first value being at least one value of a plurality of pieces of statistical information,
cause the display to show a certain message when the acquired first value exceeds a first threshold value, the first threshold value corresponding to the first value, and
recognize the storage device as a read only device that supports only a read operation of read and write operations of the nonvolatile memory when receiving information that the storage device is in the Read Only Mode.
