Abstract
A host device coupled to a data storage device via a predetermined interface includes a processor and a thermal sensor. The thermal sensor senses ambient temperature to obtain a sensed temperature and provides the sensed temperature to the processor. When the processor determines that the sensed temperature is higher than a high-temperature threshold, the processor adjusts a data transfer speed of the predetermined interface according to a data processing speed required by subsequent data to be read from or written to the data storage device.
