  • Predicting capacity consumption in a memory component
    Patent number: 7590666
    Abstract: Techniques and technologies are provided for predicting when remaining storage capacity of a memory component will be fully consumed. For example, the remaining storage capacity of the memory component can be determined and a rate of change of the storage capacity can be calculated. Using this information, a prediction or estimate can be made as to when the remaining storage capacity of the memory component will be fully consumed. The prediction or estimate can be based, for example, on a ratio of the remaining storage capacity to the rate of change of the storage capacity.
