Abstract
Dynamically determining respective threshold temperatures for data storage devices (DSDs) in a data storage system (DSS) slot involves determining a marginal temperature of a DSD (TMd) based on the difference between a current threshold temperature of a corresponding DSS slot (TTe) and a current temperature value of the DSD (TCd), and raising the current TTe to an updated TTe accordingly, thereby effectively permitting the DSD to operate at temperatures up to the updated TTe. Updating TTe may come after first determining whether the TMd is greater than a lower limit and/or less than an upper limit, both of which are based on an inherent threshold temperature value of the DSD (TTd). This approach can be applied to other DSDs housed in the same DSS enclosure, enabling varying each respective DSD operating temperature, in contrast to using a fixed operating temperature range for the entire enclosure.
