Storage device energy recycling and cooling

A storage system comprising:

• a plurality of storage devices;
• at least one energy recycling module disposed on each of the storage devices;
• wherein the at least one energy recycling module is connected to a power storing component;
• and
• wherein each of the storage devices comprises at least:
• a plurality of components;
• a processor;
• a memory array comprising a plurality of memory devices;
• a controller configured to:
• determine an amount of received power from a host-computing device;
• enable the at least one energy recycling module to capture heat generated from the plurality of components;
• convert the captured heat into an amount of electricity;
• store the converted electricity in the power storing component within the storage device;
• determine whether an event has occurred, wherein the event is based on one or more of a thermal temperature reading, received operations from the host-computing device, and a level of stored charge;
• discharge the stored electricity from the power storing component in response to determining that the event has occurred, wherein the event is based on a received operation from the host-computing device;
• and
• utilize the discharged electricity to power the energy recycling module to generate a cooling surface, whereby the at least one energy recycling module is configured to lower an operating temperature of at least one of the plurality of components.

A method for recycling energy within a storage device, comprising:

• determining power being received from a host-computing device to operate the storage device, wherein the storage device comprises a memory array and a plurality of memory devices;
• enabling an energy recycling module disposed on one or more components of the storage device to capture heat generated from the one or more components;
• receiving electricity from one or more power sources to generate a cooling surface, whereby the energy recycling module is configured to lower an operating temperature of the one or more components;
• converting the captured heat into an amount of electricity;
• storing the converted electricity in a power storing component within the storage device;
• determining whether an event has occurred, wherein the event is based on one or more of a thermal temperature reading, received operations from the host-computing device, and a level of stored charge;
• and
• discharging the stored electricity from the power storing component in response to determining that the event has occurred, wherein the event is based on a received operation from the host-computing device;
• and
• utilizing the discharged electricity to generate the cooling surface, whereby the at least one energy recycling module is configured to lower the operating temperature of the at least one of the plurality of components.
