US 2019/0174657 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HEAT DISSIPATION OF STORAGE DEVICE

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for heat dissipation of a storage device. The system comprises: a guiding rail mounted in an enclosure of the storage device; a set of fans arranged on the guiding rail and being movable on the guiding rail, the set of fans being configured to dissipate heat of a disk assembly of the storage device; and a controller configured to: obtain a temperature of the disk assembly at a first time point; and in response to the temperature of at least one disk in the disk assembly exceeding a threshold temperature, perform at least one of the following: adjusting a position of at least one of the set of fans; and increasing a rotational speed of at least one of the set of fans.
