Abstract
A method, system, and control for thermal shutdown of a storage device. The method and control determine that a temperature of the storage device is approaching a critical temperature; disable input power to the storage device upon determining that the temperature is approaching the critical temperature; when the input power to the storage device is disabled, power the storage device with auxiliary power; and under the auxiliary power, transfer data from a buffer in the storage device to a memory of the storage device.
