Method for operating storage drives, and system thereof

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to method and system for operating storage drives to increase lifecycle of the storage drives. A drive manager receives a plurality of parameters of a plurality of storage drives and determines operational state of one or more storage drives from the plurality of storage drives as unhealthy. Further, the drive manager identifies an application frequently retrieving data from the one or more storage drives and further determines one or more memory locations in the one or more storage drive from where the data is retrieved frequently. Thereafter, the data present in the one or more memory locations are stored in a temporary storage and is provided to the application during a future data retrieval cycle. Thus, the application may not retrieve data from the one or more storage drives. Hence, the lifecycle of the one or more storage drives can be increased.
