ESTIMATING LIFESPAN OF SOLID-STATE DRIVE USING REAL USAGE MODEL

摘要

An embodiment is a technique to estimate lifespan of a solid-state drive (SSD). Real environmental information from an environmental processor is received. The real environmental information corresponds to an environment of a solid-state drive (SSD). The lifespan of the SSD is estimated using the real environmental information and an internal data usage model. The estimated lifespan is made available for retrieval.

1. A method comprising:
obtaining at least one of an environmental parameter representative of a current environment and an operation parameter representative of a current usage of a solid-state drive (SSD); retrieving a real usage model that corresponds to the at least one of the environmental parameter and the operation parameter, the real usage model being created from an environmental profile, a usage profile, and an initial usage model; and computing total lifespan of the SSD using a lifespan expression from the real usage model.
