Abstract
A method, device, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment method begins by incrementing a count of a total number of write operations to a non-volatile memory storage for each write operation to the non-volatile memory storage. The method then receives a request for the total count of lifetime write operations from a requestor. Finally, the method sends the total count of lifetime write operations to the requestor.
Claims25
A method, comprising:
- incrementing a count of a total number of write operations to a non-volatile memory storage for each of one or more write operations to the non-volatile memory storage;
- receiving a request for the total count of lifetime write operations from a requester;
- and
- sending the total count of lifetime write operations to the requester.

A device, comprising:
- a non-volatile memory storage;
- and
- a storage controller to
- increment a count of a total number of write operations to the non-volatile memory storage for each write operation to the non-volatile memory storage;
- receive a request for the total count of lifetime write operations from a requester;

A system, comprising:
- a volatile memory storage;
- a NAND memory storage;
- and
- a storage controller to
- increment a count of a total number of write operations to the NAND memory storage for each write operation to the non-volatile memory storage;
- receive a request for the total count of lifetime write operations from a requestor;
- send the total count of lifetime write operations to the requestor;
- and
- store the total count of lifetime write operations in the volatile memory storage.
