In accordance with the present invention, a hard disk drive system is configured with logic that time correlates grown defects. The hard disk drive system time correlates grown defects by associating each occurrence of a grown defect with a time stamp. When the hard disk drive system receives a read defect data command sent by the host processor, the hard disk drive system returns time correlated grown defect information to the host processor. The host processor preferably executes a software program that processes the time correlated grown defect information to determine any changes in the number of grown defects that are occurring as a function of time.
