Abstract: A storage system includes a plurality of solid-state drives (SSDs) in which each SSD is an endpoint of a peer group in which one SSD is a primary SSD of the peer group, or all SSDs are treated as equal peers. Each SSD further includes a host interface port coupled to a host computing device that receives receive input/output (I/O) communications from the host computing device, a peer-interface port coupled to the peer-interface port of each other SSD in the peer group; and a controller coupled to the host interface port and the peer-interface port. The primary SSD controller is responsive to I/O communications received from the host computing device to provide data-protection computations relating to a coordinated data-protection configuration provided by the peer group and to pass the coordinated data-protection configuration information to the controllers of the other end points of the peer group through the peer-interface port.

Abstract: A storage device capable of providing instructions to modify a cooling system in support of its own operations is described. The storage device may include data storage to store data. The storage device may also include one or more operation sensors to determine a change in the operating conditions of the storage device. Finally, the storage device may include a transmitter to transmit the change in the operation conditions of the storage device to a Thermal Management System (TMS).
