SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR INCREASING SPARE SPACE IN MEMORY TO EXTEND A LIFETIME OF THE MEMORY

摘要

Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media for increasing spare space in a storage subsystem including a flash memory, extending a lifetime of the storage subsystem to achieve a stored selected minimum lifetime based at least in part as a result of the increasing spare space, and identifying at least one aspect associated with the lifetime of the storage subsystem. The storage subsystem may include compressed data stored in the flash memory.
