Lifecycle management of memory devices

A computer program product for determining drive health, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable tangible storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions readable/executable by one or more computer processors and further comprising:
• program instructions to aggregate health data information associated with one or more memory devices in a dispersed storage network, wherein aggregating the health data information includes determining trends of the health data information that are specific to a geographical location, a vendor, a model, a serial number, and updated revisions of the model on the dispersed storage network;
• program instructions to determine health status of the dispersed storage network, wherein the health status is a function of the aggregated health data information associated with memory devices of the dispersed storage network;
• and
• program instructions to determine an action to execute on the dispersed storage network based on the determined health status of the dispersed storage network, wherein the action includes altering activity of the one or more memory devices on the dispersed storage network.
