Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that may be implemented to manage operation and tracking memory wear of flash devices, such as relatively large mixed use embedded NAND flash devices or other non-volatile memory (NVM) devices employed in information handling systems such as servers. The disclosed systems and methods may advantageously be implemented to perform tasks such as tracking and/or predicting actual wear for NVM devices, and optionally controlling write operations to a NVM device. The disclosed systems and methods may also be optionally implemented to generate wear alerts based on tracked or predicted wear of such NVM devices.
