MIGRATING AN ENCODED DATA SLICE BASED ON AN END-OF-LIFE MEMORY LEVEL OF A MEMORY DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprises:
- determining a priority access level of an encoded data slice stored on a memory device;
determining an end-of-life memory level for the memory device;
determining whether to migrate the encoded data slice from the memory device based on the priority access level and the end-of-life memory level;
identifying another memory device; and
facilitating migration of the encoded data slice to the another memory device.

Abstract
A method begins by a processing module determining a priority access level of an encoded data slice stored on a memory device. The method continues with the processing module determining an end-of-life memory level for the memory device. The method continues with the processing module determining whether to migrate the encoded data slice from the memory device based on the priority access level and the end-of-life memory level. The method continues with the processing module identifying another memory device. The method continues with the processing module facilitating migration of the encoded data slice to another memory device.
