Provided are devices and methods relating to temperature control in a solid state drive (SSD). One embodiment include a SSD including a housing including a plurality of sides surrounding an interior region. The SSD includes at least one vent on the housing, the at least one vent configured to be opened and closed in response to a signal. The SSD also includes a temperature sensor and a controller, the controller configured to send a signal to open the at least one vent when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a first temperature, and the controller configured to close the at least one vent when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is greater than the second temperature. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
A solid state drive (SSD) comprising:
A solid state drive (SSD) comprising:
A method for controlling the temperature of a solid state drive (SSD), comprising selectively opening and closing at least one vent in the solid state drive in response to measured temperature data, the at least one vent comprising a first plurality of vents on a first side of a housing and a second plurality of vents on a second side of the housing, wherein the first side is different than the second side, wherein the first and second plurality of vents are each individually configured to be opened and closed based on the measured temperature data.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
