DEVICE SIDE INITIATED THERMAL THROTTLING

摘要

Thermal throttling of a storage device may be provided independent of the host computing device according to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. The storage device may be connectable to more than one type and/or make of host computing devices whose thermal safety requirements may differ. Threshold temperature values for safely operating the storage device may be stored in the host computing device. A controller in the storage device may receive the threshold temperature value(s) from the host computing device and may throttle operating performance of the storage device based on a sensed operating temperature of the storage device compared relative to the stored threshold temperature value associated with the host computing device.
