Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with protecting data during cold excursions are provided. A method for preventing unreliable data operations at cold temperatures may include determining whether a first temperature of a solid state drive (SSD) is below a threshold temperature. The method may also include initiating an artificial read/write operation if the first temperature is below the threshold temperature.
Claims14
A method for preventing unreliable data operations at cold temperatures comprising:
- determining whether a first temperature of a solid state drive (SSD) is below a threshold temperature;
- initiating an artificial read/write operation on the SSD to increase the first temperature if the first temperature is below the threshold temperature;
- sampling a second temperature of the SSD;
- and
- pausing a read/write operation of the SSD if the second temperature of the SSD is below the threshold temperature.
2 more elements
An information handling system comprising:
- a processor;
- a solid state drive (SSD) communicatively coupled to the processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor and having stored thereon instructions configured to, when executed by the processor:
- determine whether a first temperature of the SSD is below a threshold temperature;
- initiate an artificial read/write operation on the SSD to increase the first temperature if the first temperature is below the threshold temperature;
- sample a second temperature of the SSD;
- and
- pause a read/write operation of the SSD if the second temperature of the SSD is below the threshold temperature.
