1. A computer-implemented method of managing a plurality of storage devices, the storage devices having a lifetime of a finite number of operations, the method comprising:

  • calculating an average number of storage devices reaching said lifetime of a finite number of operations per first unit time;

    for each one of the plurality of storage devices calculating an estimated date when said finite number of operations will be reached;

    for each date, setting a variable associated with that date, the variable being related to a number of storage devices reaching said finite number of operations within a predetermined period of said date; and

    for one or more variables associated with a date where the value of the variable is larger than the average number of storage devices reaching said lifetime of a finite number of operations per first unit time, carrying out an action to reduce the number of storage devices reaching said lifetime per first unit of time.
