Abstract

See full text

A device, methods and systems that provide device independence in storage device wear algorithms are disclosed. A storage device that provides such device independence includes a device-specific wear algorithm, and may also include an integrated wear algorithm. The device-specific wear algorithm is configured to be loaded into a wear algorithm space and is at least a portion of a wear algorithm. The device-specific wear algorithm is stored in the storage device. The integrated wear algorithm, if employed, is resident in the storage device. A method that provides such device independence is also disclosed. The method includes loading a device-specific wear algorithm from a storage device into a wear algorithm space. The device-specific wear algorithm is configured to be stored in the storage device and loaded into the wear algorithm space. The device-specific wear algorithm is at least a portion of a wear algorithm.
