Cervoz tackles overheating with comprehensive set of solutions
Overheating is a problem that any machine or device powered by electricity can face. When a storage module overheats, it may start to malfunction. If overheating continues, it could cause the module to crash and threaten data integrity. Ultimately, the problem could reduce the device's expected lifespan and render it useless and in need of replacing.
As a leader in designing and developing Flash storage, Cervoz has engineered solutions to overheating to go along with its modules. Here are our three main solutions for thermal management and overheating protection.
Dynamic Thermal Throttling
On the firmware front, Cervoz offers a feature known as Dynamic Thermal Throttling for its Flash products. This mechanism prevents the module from overheating due to large volumes of data write-in in a short period of time. In cases when themodule heats up to a temperature cap, the function automatically slows down performance and thus drops temperature before the module overheats.
M.2 PCIe Heat Dissipation Solution
On the hardware front, Cervoz provides two heat dissipation solutions for its M.2 PCIe modules. Since these modules are known for their fast data-processing capabilities, they are most prone to overheating.
For the standard temperature M.2 module, we offer a graphene padding that is sufficient for heat dissipation in a typical room-temperature setting. Meanwhile, for the wide temperature M.2 module, the Cervoz heatsink kit is designed to effectively help with heat dissipation under extreme temperatures (-40˚C to 85˚C). The unique fin design has been proven to accelerate heat dissipation and thus maintain stable data transfer.
Cervoz FlashMonitor
On the software front, Cervoz presents the proprietary Cervoz FlashMonitor, free to download with the purchase of any of our storage products. The monitoring system shows in real time how Cervoz storage modules are doing, with temperature being one of the data it tracks.
In the “Tool” tab, users can set up the system to send email and pop-up alerts when the module's temperature reaches a pre-set threshold. This automatic, real-time alert keeps users informed of how the device is doing and whether it needs to be powered off to cool down.
