Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic device including a thermal reduction device, and a storage device electrically connected to the thermal reduction device. The storage device including a media, a channel configured to perform data operations on the media, a power input interface configured to receive power for consumption by the storage device from an available average amount of power, wherein the received power reduces the available average amount of power, and the available average amount of power is no greater than a maximum average power threshold, a thermal sensor configured to generate thermal data corresponding to a temperature of the storage device, and a thermal control unit configured to activate or deactivate a power savings mode for the storage device based at least on the thermal data, and to activate or deactivate the thermal reduction device based at least on the thermal data. The power savings mode affects an operation of the channel.
