Abstract
A data storage device may include a container comprising a gas-permeable membrane and a temperature-sensitive gas-releasing substance inside of the container. The temperature-sensitive gas-releasing substance is characterized by a gas-release profile wherein, below a critical temperature, the temperature-sensitive gas-releasing substance releases essentially none of a particular gas, and above the critical temperature, and within a range of expected operating temperatures of the data storage device, the temperature-sensitive gas-releasing substance releases the particular gas in quantities that generally increase with increasing temperature.
