Abstract
One or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to enhancing storage device performance and longevity. In embodiments, Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) data collected from storage devices can be analyzed using one or more machine learning models. Additionally, the embodiments can employ Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce data dimensionality and K-means clustering to group storage devices with similar characteristics. The embodiments can also predict potential thermal throttling events and proactively adjust read/write rates to prevent performance degradation. Optionally, the embodiments can transfer highly active data from hot to cooler devices. For example, the embodiments can control logical-to-physical track mapping based on SMART data and direct data to physical tracks accordingly. By correlating SMART data with input/output (IO) workload analysis, the embodiments can predict when device temperatures will reach thermal thresholds and take preventive actions.
