Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for cooling hard disk drives (HDDs). The method may include determining a threshold fan speed for one or more fans that provide cooling for HDDs based upon a target HDD vibration performance. The method may also include controlling the one or more fans, by a controller, to alternately run at a first fan speed for a first period and at the threshold fan speed for a second period, when the one or more fans reach the threshold fan speed. The first fan speed is higher than the threshold fan speed.
