Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for managing data includes collecting workload information for a data storage device in a data storage system over a period of time. A peak workload of the data storage device for the period of time is determined. A maximum workload threshold for the data storage device in the data storage system over the period of time is also determined. Movement of additional workload to the device in the data storage system is prevented during a subsequent period of time when the data storage device is predicted to be at about the peak workload for the data storage device in response to a determination that adding the additional workload would cause the workload of the device to exceed the maximum workload threshold.
