Cervoz Industrial SSD Supporting Temperature From -40˚C to 85˚C

Cervoz Technology Co., Ltd. knows that overheating is a big performance-buster for industrial-grade storage modules.

This is why it has devoted the R&D resources to develop a 3-pronged solution to overheating. Tackling the problem with firmware, hardware and software, the company covers all its bases where potential overheating is concerned.

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.

The company engineered overheating protection to go along with its storage modules. For firmware, the firm offers a feature known as Dynamic Thermal Throttling for its flash products. In cases when the module heats up to a temperature cap, the function automatically slows down performance and thus drops temperature before the module overheats. Cooling will continue until the temperature drops back down to a predetermined acceptable level.

For hardware, the company provides 2 heat dissipation solutions for its M.2 PCIe modules, which are most prone to overheating due to their fast data-processing capabilities. For the standard temperature M.2 module, the company offers, graphene padding that is sufficient for heat dissipation in a typical room-temperature setting. Meanwhile, for the wide temperature M.2 module, the firm’s heatsink kit is designed to help with heat dissipation under extreme temperatures (-40˚C to 85˚C). This fin design has been proven to accelerate heat dissipation, reducing operating temperatures by up to 15˚C compared to that of devices operating without it.

For software, the company provides its proprietary FlashMonitor with the purchase of its storage products. The monitoring system shows in real time how the company’s 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.
