  • Modifying write performance to prolong life of a physical memory device
    Patent number: 11182087
    Abstract: A memory device protection manager determines an estimated remaining life of a physical memory device. By comparing the estimated remaining life of the physical memory device to a threshold value, the memory device protection manager determines whether a drive protection condition has been triggered. When the drive protection condition is triggered, the memory device protection manager modifies a write performance for subsequent data units to a modified write performance rate. The modified write performance rate is an upper limit on the write performance for the subsequent data units.
