Abstract
A data storage device and method are disclosed for thermal management through command selection. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors, individually or in combination, are configured to: determine whether a temperature of the memory and/or a temperature of the one or more processors is above a threshold temperature; in response to determining that only the temperature of the memory is above the threshold temperature, execute a command whose execution uses relatively-more involvement of the one or more processors and relatively-less involvement of the memory; and in response to determining that only the temperature of the one or more processors is above the threshold temperature, execute a command whose execution uses relatively-more involvement of the memory and relatively-less involvement of the one or more processors. Other embodiments are provided.
