Abstract

A total estimated occupancy value of a first data on a first data block of a plurality of data blocks is determined. To determine the total estimated occupancy value of the first data block, a total block power-on-time (POT) value of the first data block is determined. Then, a scaling factor is applied to the total block POT value to determine the total estimated occupancy value of the first data block. Whether the total estimated occupancy value of the first data block satisfies a threshold criterion is determined. Responsive to determining that the total estimated occupancy value of the first data block satisfies the threshold criterion, data stored at the first data block is relocated to a second data block of the plurality of data blocks.
