Abstract
A thermal surrogate device is configured to replace a data storage device within a server or other multiple data storage device system. The thermal surrogate device has a housing that has a form factor identical to the data storage device. The housing has a cavity along a length, and a sensor fixture is positioned within the housing. An airflow sensor is attached to the sensor fixture and configured to measure an airflow through the housing. The housing is configured to be installed within a slot for a data storage device in a multiple memory system.
