Aspects of a storage device are thermal management of a non-volatile storage device are provided. In various embodiments, a storage device includes corresponding memory locations on two or more dies. Corresponding memory locations on each die form an addressable group. A controller in thermal communication with each of the dies may detect an excess temperature on one of the dies while performing sequential host writes. Upon such detection, the controller may disable all writes to the detected die while continuing to perform writes to the memory locations of the other dies without throttling the other dies. The controller may then reactivate writes to the detected die when the temperature drops below a threshold.
