An approach for recommending a prioritized list of replacement of failed drives. The approach receives data associated with failed drives from data centers. The approach segregates the data into variable groups based on a data type. The approach creates a logical layer of entry lists, based on the units, for instantiations of the executable program. The approach sorts the data into priority groups based on priority rules associated with the variable groups and predetermined thresholds. The approach generates a prioritized list of failed drive replacement order based on an ensemble machine learning model. The approach outputs the prioritized list, replacement drive availability information and drive replacement personnel availability information.
