Abstract

Various embodiments for predicting hardware lifespan by a processor device. For a solid state drive (SSD) device configured with data deduplication mechanisms, a useful remaining lifespan is estimated by examining actual drive write operations in view of prevented drive write operations, thereby obtaining trend information to be applied to at least one drive constant data to predict the useful remaining lifespan of the SSD drive device.
