Claim 5:
6. A method comprising:
connecting a non-volatile memory to a quarantine module;
generating a quarantine strategy in response to a pending data access request to the non- volatile memory, the quarantine strategy proactively prescribing a plurality of status levels for physical data addresses of the non-volatile memory;
comparing a first volume of errors for the non-volatile memory to a first threshold of the quarantine strategy using the quarantine module, the first volume of errors generated responsive to servicing of a first set of data access requests by the non- volatile memory;
altering a first status level of the plurality of status levels for a first physical data address of the non-volatile memory, as directed by the quarantine strategy, in response to the comparison of the first volume of errors to the first threshold;
comparing a second volume of errors for the non-volatile memory to a second threshold of the quarantine strategy using the quarantine module, the second volume of errors generated responsive to servicing of a second set of data access requests by the non-volatile memory; and
changing a second status level of the plurality of status levels for a second physical data address of the non-volatile memory, as directed by the quarantine strategy, in response to the comparison of the second volume of errors to [[a]] the second threshold, the first and second status levels conducted concurrently by the quarantine module.
