Abstract:

A data storage device including, in one implementation, a number of memory die packages disposed on a substrate within the data storage device. Each memory die package has a die density that includes one or more memory dies. The die density of each memory die package is configured to provide an even thermal distribution across the number of memory die packages. The respective die densities of two memory of the die packages are different from each other.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A data storage system including a data storage device located on a first network and configured to download data from a network site based on universal resource locator (“URL”) information of the network site, and an electronic device located on a second network different than the first network. The electronic device determines the URL information of the network site, receives user authentication data, receives a network address of the data storage device from a server using the user authentication data, and transmits the URL information to the data storage device using the network address of the data storage device. This causes the data storage device to download data from the network site contingent on correct user authentication being provided.

International Classification:

G06F 21/62
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing secure access to a data storage device. A user may provide tap inputs, such as taps or knocks, on an enclosure of the data storage device. The data storage device may determine whether the tap inputs are valid and may allow access to the data storage device (e.g., to non-volatile memory of the data storage device) when the tap inputs are valid.

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Dean M. Jenkins - La Canada Flintridge CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/445
G06F 13/20

Abstract:

A Chassis Baseboard Management Controller (CBMC) includes at least one memory for storing data related to a plurality of microservers in a server chassis. A request is received from a remote device for microserver hostnames to build a locality map for a storage or processing pool in a distributed storage or processing network. A device slot number corresponding to a physical location of the microserver in the server chassis is determined for each microserver. The determined device slot number is appended to a chassis hostname to create respective microserver hostnames. According to one aspect, a microserver hostname is received from a CBMC and stored in a memory of a μBMC of a microserver. The microserver hostname is retrieved from the memory by a processor of the microserver during a boot sequence. The retrieved microserver hostname is set as a hostname for communicating via at least one network interface.

International Classification:

G06F 11/14
G06F 13/20
G06F 1/32

Abstract:

A server chassis includes a plurality of microservers with each microserver including a Micro Baseboard Management Controller (μBMC) and at least one processor for controlling operation of the microserver. A BMC communication manager of the server chassis directly communicates with each μBMC of the plurality of micro-servers. A Chassis BMC (CBMC) connects to the BMC communication manager and communicates with the BMC communication manager via a plurality of communication protocols. The BMC communication manager translates at least one of the plurality of protocols to a different protocol for direct communication with each μBMC. According to one aspect, a μBMC is connected to an out-of-band port of a microserver for communicating with at least one processor of the microserver. According to another aspect, the BMC communication manager includes at least one CBMC connector for communicating with the CBMC, and a plurality of μBMC ports for communicating directly with a respective μBMC.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for managing temperature in a data storage device. A data storage device includes non-volatile solid-state memory, a temperature sensor, a heating device, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a temperature signal from the temperature sensor indicating a temperature of at least a portion of the data storage device, determine that the temperature is below a first predetermined threshold, activate the heating device to increase the temperature of the at least a portion of the data storage device, and write data associated with a write command to the non-volatile solid-state memory.
