A mechanism and a storage device are provided for registering a component of a computing device, with a user-removably attached storage device and managing sessions between the component and the storage device. The storage device may record time information regarding a beginning and an ending of an activity session with the component. The storage device may determine whether at least a logical block address range of a storage device medium, registered by the component, may have been modified by a different component, since a last session with the component. When the storage device indicates to the component that at least the logical block address range of the medium has not been modified since the last session, the component may trust contents of the medium. The computing device may provide time information to the storage device, such that the storage device may determine whether management operations are to be performed.
