Abstract
A first cumulative data transfer over a first time window from an intermediary module to a data storage media is determined. The intermediary module is coupled between a host interface and the data storage media. An activity rate from the intermediary module to the data storage media is limited for one or more subsequent time windows if the first cumulative activity rate exceeds a threshold value that impacts life of the data storage media. The limitation of the activity rate is removed after the one or more subsequent time windows expire.
