Abstract
Storage devices can retain information through application of a charge upon the storage device. However, applying the charge upon the storage device can be change physical characteristics of the charge and ultimately increase a likelihood of device failure. Therefore, a determination can be made on how to apply the charge based upon analysis of the device, of data for retention, and the like. Raw data can be analyzed and/or estimations can be made to determine the charge.
