Abstract

A method of operating a storage system. The method includes a storage controller receiving a first life parameter of a first storage device and determining if the first life parameter indicates that the first storage device has a remaining life that is less than a pre-determined life parameter threshold. The method further includes, in response to the remaining life being less than the pre-determined life parameter threshold, designating the first storage device for replacement.
