METHOD OF WRITING DATA IN STORAGE DEVICE USING WRITE THROTTLING AND STORAGE DEVICE PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18132092 titled 'METHOD OF WRITING DATA IN STORAGE DEVICE USING WRITE THROTTLING AND STORAGE DEVICE PERFORMING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for writing data in a storage device, which includes monitoring the operating temperature of the device and adjusting the write operation based on the temperature.

  • The method involves receiving write data from a host device.
  • The operating temperature of the storage device is monitored.
  • Write data blocks are generated for different storage regions of the device based on the received data.
  • The write throttling operation is performed based on the operating temperature.
  • The write operation is performed on a certain number of write data blocks (P) by transmitting a write command to a corresponding number of storage regions.
  • The write operation is skipped for a certain number of write data blocks (X) by not transmitting the write command to the corresponding storage regions.
  • P and X are natural numbers.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data storage devices, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, can benefit from this method.
  • It can be used in various computing systems, including servers, personal computers, and mobile devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method helps to prevent data loss or corruption due to high operating temperatures in storage devices.
  • It optimizes the write operation based on the temperature, ensuring efficient and reliable data storage.

Benefits of this technology:

  • By adjusting the write operation based on the operating temperature, the method improves the overall performance and reliability of the storage device.
  • It helps to extend the lifespan of the storage device by preventing excessive heat-related wear and tear.
  • The method ensures data integrity and reduces the risk of data loss or corruption.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of writing data in a storage device is provided. The method includes: receiving write data from a host device; monitoring an operating temperature of the storage device; generating a plurality of write data blocks respectively corresponding to a plurality of storage regions of the storage device based on the write data; and based on the operating temperature, performing a write throttling operation including performing a write operation on P write data blocks among the plurality of write data blocks by transmitting a write command to P storage regions among the plurality of storage regions and skipping the write operation on X write data blocks among the plurality of write data blocks by skipping an operation of transmitting the write command to X storage regions among the plurality of storage regions. P and X are natural numbers.
