Data Center SSD - Thermal Throttling
What is the Thermal Throttling feature for data centers?
Generally, data centers utilize cooling systems to prevent the internal temperature of the servers rising from the heat generated by the equipment.
However, if the temperature of the SSD exceeds the permitted conditions as a result of constantly processing I/O at high speeds, it may result in damaging the internal hardware of the SSD and causing data loss.
To prevent such loss, SSDs for data centers activate an automatic temperature control feature to prevent hardware damage and user data loss from increasing temperatures.
If the temperature exceeds the permitted range, SSDs for data centers force the I/O processing to be delayed to drop the heat generated by the SSD to protect the hardware and user data.
