Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 4:
5. An apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of non-volatile memory components storing pages of data;
a data retention component configured to operate, utilizing power from an auxiliary power supply in an absence of power from a main power supply, to:
monitor a characteristic of the plurality of non-volatile memory components; and
predict, based on the monitored characteristic, an impending data loss event for a page of data stored in the plurality of non-volatile memory components; and

a portion of a controller configured to operate utilizing the power from the auxiliary power supply in the absence of the power from the main power supply, to:
perform a targeted refresh operation of data stored on the page responsive to the prediction by the data retention component; and

further comprising an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), powered utilizing the power from the auxiliary power supply in the absence of the power from the main power supply, to be readable by a host for inventory management in the absence of the power from the main power supply.
