Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for prediction of remaining life and failure of disks are disclosed. For example, a method comprises collecting operational data of a plurality of disks, and identifying at least one disk of the plurality of disks as failing based at least in part on a portion of the operational data associated with the at least one disk. Using one or more machine learning algorithms, a time period when the at least one disk will remain operational is predicted based at least in part on the portion of the operational data associated with the at least one disk. An operation to write contents of the at least one disk on at least one replacement disk is executed, wherein the operation is initiated at a time based at least in part on the predicted time period.
