Abstract
A storage device self-heating system includes a storage device having a processing system, a storage subsystem, and at least one heat transfer subsystem coupled between the processing system and the storage subsystem. The storage device determines that a temperature of the storage subsystem is below a temperature threshold and, in response, uses the processing system to perform a plurality of computations that are configured to generate an amount of heat that, when transferred via the heat transfer subsystem(s), raises the temperature of the storage subsystem. The heat transfer subsystem(s) transfer heat generated via the performance of the plurality of computations to the storage subsystem, and when the storage device determines that the temperature of the storage subsystem is above the temperature threshold, it performs at least one storage operation.
