Thermal management of storage devices increasing host write performance

A storage device, comprising:

• a plurality of dies each comprising n sets of memory locations, a corresponding one of the n sets from each die coupled together to form one meta-set of n meta-sets, each meta-set comprising a maximum addressable unit of a host input/output (I/O) operation;
• and
• a controller in thermal communication with each of the dies and configured to:
• detect an excess temperature on at least one of the dies while performing a sequence of host writes;
• disable all writes to the detected at least one die while continuing the host writes to the other dies in the corresponding one or more of the n meta-sets;
• and
• re-activate writes to the detected at least one die when the temperature drops below a threshold.

A storage device, comprising:

• a plurality of dies each comprising a memory location forming one of a plurality of selectively addressable pages;
• a controller coupled to each of the plurality of dies and configured to:
• perform a host write operation to one or more pages;
• detect an excess temperature on at least one of the dies;
• disable, responsive to the detection, all writes to the detected at least one die while continuing to perform writes to the memory locations of the other dies;
• and
• reactivate writes to the detected at least one die when the temperature drops below a threshold.
