Abstract
A first threshold temperature is maintained for operating a solid state drive (SSD) in a first mode. A second threshold temperature is maintained for operating the SSD in a second mode in which read and write operations are performed at a higher rate than in the first mode, wherein the second threshold temperature is higher than the first threshold temperature. The SSD is switched from the first mode to the second mode, in response to an operating temperature of the SSD exceeding the first threshold temperature.
