Abstract:
A method and system for improving operation of a memory device is provided. The method includes detecting, via sensors, environmental factors affecting an operation of individual hardware storage devices within an array of hardware storage devices. The environmental factors are analyzed with respect to operational characteristics of the individual hardware storage devices and a resulting expected failure rate for the individual hardware storage devices is determined. Array parameters associated with a hardware configuration for the array of hardware storage devices with respect to each expected failure rate are determined and associated issues are detected. Reliability characteristics and associated risks of the array of hardware storage devices are determined and a functionality of the array of hardware storage devices is modified.

Claim (Index 1):
A memory device operational improvement method comprising:\n detecting, by a processor of a hardware device via a plurality of sensors, environmental factors affecting an operation of individual hardware storage devices within an array of hardware storage devices; determining, by said processor based on results of first analyzing said environmental factors with respect to operational characteristics of said individual hardware storage devices, an expected failure rate for each of said individual hardware storage devices; second analyzing, by said processor, array parameters associated with a hardware configuration for said array of hardware storage devices with respect to each said expected failure rate; first determining, by said processor based on results of said second analyzing, a risk for data loss with respect to malfunctions of said array of hardware storage devices, an expected rebuild time for each of said individual hardware storage devices, and a number of additional hardware storage devices required for stocking due to said malfunctions; second determining, by said processor based results of said first determining, reliability characteristics and associated risks of said array of hardware storage devices; determining, by said processor, that said reliability characteristics and associated risks are not within an acceptable tolerance level; and modifying, by said processor based on said determining that said reliability characteristics and associated risks are not within said acceptable tolerance level, a functionality of said array of hardware storage devices thereby modifying an operation of at least one of said individual hardware storage devices.
