Data retention in storage drives
Abstract:
A method and a system for monitoring conditions of offline storage devices is disclosed. Predetermined environmental conditions are monitored to determine whether a storage device should be brought online to perform a data integrity check process. The process receives a triggering event that corresponds with the storage device, powers on the storage devices, selects a page from the storage device, and determines a bit error rate. Once the bit error rate is determined, error-correcting code runs to correct the errors. Any uncorrectable errors are reported, and the storage device is brought back offline.
