  • EXTENDING SSD LONGEVITY
    Publication number: 20230028183
    Abstract: A storage appliance includes a first SSD, a second SSD, and a controller. The controller is able to calculate a first utilization parameter of the first SSD and a second utilization parameter of the second SSD. If the first utilization parameter is less than a threshold and the second utilization parameter exceeds the threshold, the controller identifies a data range stored on the first SSD to be removed. The removal of the data range from the first SSD causes the first utilization parameter to exceed the threshold. The controller then migrates the data range from the first SSD to the second SSD.
