Data storage system with intelligent error management

A method comprising:

• connecting a non-volatile memory to a quarantine module;
• generating a quarantine strategy in response to a pending data access request to the non-volatile memory, the quarantine strategy proactively prescribing a plurality of status levels for physical data addresses of the non-volatile memory;
• comparing a volume of errors for the non-volatile memory to a first threshold of the quarantine strategy with the quarantine module;
• altering a first status level of the plurality of status levels for a first physical data address of the non-volatile memory, as directed by the quarantine strategy, in response to the comparison of errors to the first threshold;
• and
• changing a second status level of the plurality of status levels for a second physical data address of the non-volatile memory, as directed by the quarantine strategy, in response to the comparison of errors to a second threshold, the first and second status levels conducted concurrently by the quarantine module.

A method comprising:

• connecting a non-volatile memory to a quarantine module;
• generating a quarantine strategy in response to a pending data access request to the non-volatile memory, the quarantine strategy proactively prescribing a plurality of status levels for physical data addresses of the non-volatile memory;
• predicting an expense of a volume of system resources with the quarantine module;
• comparing the predicted volume of system resources to a first threshold of the quarantine strategy with the quarantine module;
• and
• altering a first status level of the plurality of status levels for a first physical data address of the non-volatile memory, as directed by the quarantine strategy, in response to the comparison of the expense of the volume of system resources to the first threshold.
