Publication number: 20250068222Abstract: A multi-protocol storage device avoids entering a thermal shutdown mode by switching between protocols. The storage device communicates with a host in a first mode using a first protocol. The storage device receives a temperature request from the host, monitors its temperature, and transmits a response to the host when the temperature of the storage device meets a predefined temperature that is below a thermal shutdown threshold. The storage device receives a thermal throttling instruction from the host and switches to a second mode to communicate with the host using a second protocol that uses less resources than the first protocol. The storage device performs thermal throttling until the temperature of the storage device reaches a normal temperature zone. When the temperature of the storage device returns to the normal temperature zone, the storage device returns to the first mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Applicant: WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: RAMANATHAN MUTHIAH, VINOD SASIDHARAN, VIMAL JAIN
