The Lifetime Estimation feature provides critical predictive intelligence on your ADLINK SSD device’s remaining lifespan. By monitoring wear patterns and usage statistics, this tool helps you:

• Prevent unexpected data loss by identifying at-risk storage devices before they fail
• Optimize maintenance schedules based on actual usage patterns
• Reduce system downtime through proactive SSD replacement
• Extend hardware lifecycles with data-driven maintenance decisions

This feature is compatible with all ADLINK SSD models and integrates seamlessly with our comprehensive device health monitoring system.

How Lifetime Estimation Works

Dynamic recording: Analyzes actual I/O patterns during recording sessions to provide customized predictions based on your specific workloads

• Records all disk read/write operations between when you press “start recording” and “stop recording”
• Uses this real-world usage data to calculate a more accurate lifespan projection
• The longer your recording period, the more accurate the estimation will be

The system provides an estimate of the remaining life in days, helping you plan for timely device replacement.

How to Use Lifetime Estimation

Follow these steps to view and record lifetime estimation data for your ASD device:

• Step 1: Click the ASD monitor icon in the device list

• Step 2: Click the “record” button to start the recording

• Step 3: Click the “record” button again to stop the recording after you have finished your workload

  • For optimal results, record during periods of typical system usage and your workload patterns

• Step 4: Click the “+” button to expand and view the lifetime estimation value

Recording method provides a more accurate lifetime estimation because it calculates the lifetime based on your recorded disk operations between start and stop. This captures your actual workload patterns rather than using generic assumptions.
