VARIABLE DRIVE HEALTH DETERMINATION AND DATA PLACEMENT

摘要

The relative health of data storage drives may be determined based, at least in some aspects, on data access information and/or other drive operation information. In some examples, upon receiving the operation information from a computing device, a health level of a drive may be determined. The health level determination may be based at least in part on operating information received from a client entity. Additionally, a storage space allocation instruction or operation may be determined for execution. The allocation instruction or operation determined to be performed may be based at least in part on the determined health level.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for data storage management, comprising: under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,
receiving operating information associated with a first data storage device, the received operating information indicating an ability to perform operations on data stored in the first data storage device; determining, based at least in part on the received operating information, a health level for the first data storage device, the health level determined from a plurality of possible health levels in a range of health levels; receiving an operational parameter associated with a first data object stored in the first data storage device, where the operational parameter indicates performance information of the first data object; causing, based at least in part on the health level of the first data storage device and the operational parameter, the first data object to be stored in a second data storage device determined to be within a healthy level; and reallocating storage space of the first data storage device such that it is available for reading or writing a second data object with a second operational parameter indicating second performance information.
