Patent 9405356 was granted and assigned to Western Digital on August, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Systems and methods are disclosed managing power and/or temperature in a data storage system. A hybrid data storage device comprises a disk component and a non-volatile semiconductor memory component. The data storage device further comprises a temperature sensor and a controller configured to receive a temperature signal from the temperature sensor indicating a temperature of at least a portion of the data storage device and, when the temperature is determined to be greater than a first temperature, manage power to the semiconductor memory according to a first power throttling state.
