Abstract
The invention provides a data storage device comprising a shell, a main circuit board, and an external connector. The shell comprises a plurality of vents. The main circuit board is placed in the shell, and covered by a fire protection material. The main circuit board is provided with a controller and a plurality of flash memory elements. The external connector is disposed outside the shell. When the data storage device is in a fire scene, the flash memory elements on the main circuit board can be avoided to be burned since the fire protection material covers the main circuit board. Further, the data storage device has a better heat dissipation and convection effect via the vents of the shell, such that the data storage device can cool down quickly, and thereby the integrity of data storage can ensured.
Claims8
A data storage device having thermal protection, comprising:
- a first shell having a plurality of vents;
- a main circuit board comprising a controller and a plurality of flash memory elements connected to the controller, wherein the main circuit board is placed in the first shell, and the main circuit board, the controller, and the plurality of flash memory elements are covered by a fire protection material;
- and
- an external connector, disposed outside the first shell, and electrically connected to the main circuit board via a circuit connection line;
- wherein an air convection is formed between the plurality of vents and the fire protection material, the fire protection material can dissipate heat by the air convection between the plurality of vents and the fire protection material when a heat source conducts heat to the fire protection material.
A data storage device having thermal protection, comprising:
- a first shell having a plurality of vents;
- a second shell, placed in the first shell, and covered by a fire protection material;
- a main circuit board, placed in the second shell, and comprising a controller and a plurality of flash memory elements connected to the controller;
- and
- an external connector, disposed outside the first shell, and electrically connected to the main circuit board via a circuit connection line;
- wherein an air convection is formed between the plurality of vents and the fire protection material, the fire protection material can dissipate heat by the air convection between the plurality of vents and the fire protection material when a heat source conducts heat to the fire protection material.
