1. A method, comprising:
- determining remaining storage capacity of the memory component;
calculating a rate of change of the storage capacity;
calculating a moving average of the rate of change of the remaining storage capacity;
predicting when the remaining storage capacity of the memory component will be consumed based on a ratio of the remaining storage capacity to the calculated rate of change of the storage capacity; and
predicting an amount of time before the remaining storage capacity of the memory component will be consumed based on a ratio of the remaining storage capacity to the moving average of the rate of change of the remaining storage capacity.

Abstract
Techniques and technologies are provided for predicting when remaining storage capacity of a memory component will be fully consumed. For example, the remaining storage capacity of the memory component can be determined and a rate of change of the storage capacity can be calculated. Using this information, a prediction or estimate can be made as to when the remaining storage capacity of the memory component will be fully consumed. The prediction or estimate can be based, for example, on a ratio of the remaining storage capacity to the rate of change of the storage capacity.

12. A memory management system stored on a computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable modules, comprising:
a predictor module which determines remaining storage capacity of the memory component, calculates a rate of change of the storage capacity, and estimates when the remaining storage capacity of the memory component will be consumed based on a ratio of the remaining storage capacity to the calculated rate of change of the storage capacity, wherein the predictor module calculates a moving average of the rate of change of the remaining storage capacity, and estimates when the remaining storage capacity of the memory component will be consumed based on a ratio of the remaining storage capacity to the moving average of the rate of change of the remaining storage capacity. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
