Abstract
A storage system with temperature control. The system includes a plurality of storage devices such as solid state drives, a system controller such as a baseboard management controller, and one or more cooling fans. Each storage devices includes a controller configured to estimate the heat load in the storage device and/or an effective temperature, resulting from operations performed in the storage device. The system controller employs active disturbance rejection control to adjust the fan speed based on the estimated heat loads, the estimated temperatures, and/or the sensed internal temperatures, of the storage devices.
