PROACTIVELY BIASING PARAMETERS OF DATA STORAGE DEVICE BASED ON SPATIAL POSITION IN STORAGE ENCLOSURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17840303 titled 'PROACTIVELY BIASING PARAMETERS OF DATA STORAGE DEVICE BASED ON SPATIAL POSITION IN STORAGE ENCLOSURE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for proactively biasing parameters of a data storage device based on its spatial position in a storage enclosure. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves determining the spatial position of a data storage device within a storage enclosure.
- Based on this spatial position, one or more parameters for controlling the device memory are proactively biased.
- The spatial position corresponds to a predetermined thermal profile.
Potential Applications:
- Data centers and server farms where multiple storage devices are housed in enclosures.
- Cloud storage providers that manage large-scale storage infrastructure.
- High-performance computing environments where efficient data storage is crucial.
Problems Solved:
- Reactive biasing of parameters can lead to inefficient use of device memory and increased power consumption.
- Inconsistent thermal profiles within a storage enclosure can affect the performance and reliability of storage devices.
Benefits:
- Proactively biasing parameters based on spatial position allows for optimized use of device memory.
- By considering the predetermined thermal profile, the method ensures that storage devices operate within their optimal temperature range.
- Improved performance, reliability, and energy efficiency of data storage systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are systems and methods for proactively, instead of reactively, biasing parameters of a data storage device based on a spatial position in a storage enclosure. The method includes obtaining a spatial position for the data storage device in a storage enclosure. The method also includes proactively biasing one or more parameters for controlling the device memory, based on the spatial position. The spatial position has a corresponding thermal profile that is predetermined.
