First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprises:
- identifying a memory device having an expired useable memory life with respect to a legacy storage protocol;
extracting data from the memory device; and
reprovisioning the memory device from the legacy storage protocol to a dispersed storage error coding storage protocol to produce a reprovisioned memory device that is useable for storing data in accordance with the dispersed storage error coding storage protocol.

Abstract
A method begins by a processing module identifying a memory device having an expired useable memory life with respect to a legacy storage protocol. The method continues with the processing module extracting data from the memory device. The method continues with the processing module reprovisioning the memory device from the legacy storage protocol to a dispersed storage error coding storage protocol.
