A control method for a solid state drive is provided. The solid state drive includes a non-volatile memory with plural blocks. In a step (a1), a block is opened. In a step (a2), a program action is performed to store a valid write data into the open block. Then, a step (a3) is performed to judge whether an amount of the valid write data in the open block reaches a predetermined capacity. In a step (a4), if the amount of the valid write data in the open block does not reach the predetermined capacity, the step (a2) is performed again. In a step (a5), if the amount of the valid write data in the open block reaches the predetermined capacity, the open block is closed and the step (a1) is performed again. The predetermined capacity is lower than a capacity of one block.

Control method for solid state drive

A working temperature calculation method for a storage device of a server is provided. Firstly, n detected temperatures are converted into n transformed temperatures according to a composite temperature algorithm. If all of the n transformed temperatures are lower than a strengthen heat dissipation trigger temperature, the lowest temperature of the n transformed temperatures is set as a working temperature of the storage device. If at least one of the n transformed temperatures is higher than the strengthen heat dissipation trigger temperature, the highest temperature of the n transformed temperatures is set as the working temperature. When the storage device receives a temperature read command from the host, the storage device sends an information about the working temperature to the host, and the host controls a heat dissipation mode of the heat dissipation mechanism according to the working temperature.
