摘要： Techniques for predicting failure of a storage device are described in various implementations. An example method that implements the techniques may include receiving, at an analysis system and from a computing system having a storage device, current diagnostic information associated with the storage device. The method may also include storing, using the analysis system, the current diagnostic information in a collection that includes historical diagnostic information associated with other storage devices of other computing systems. The method may also include predicting, using the analysis system, whether the storage device is likely to fail in a given time period based on the current diagnostic information and an estimated lifespan for storage devices that are of a same classification as the storage device, the estimated lifespan determined based on the collection.
