Abstract
A storage unit includes one or more storage devices. In one embodiment, it is determined whether a temperature associated with the storage unit is below a minimum threshold. In another embodiment, it is determined whether a predicted heat load of the storage unit is below a minimum threshold. A predicted heat load for the storage unit is increased by initiating a data operation in the storage devices in response to determining that the temperature, or the predicted heat load, is below the minimum threshold.
