Abstract:
A system and method for active disturbance rejection based thermal control is configured to receive, at a first active disturbance rejection thermal control (ADRC) controller, a first temperature measurement from a first thermal zone. The ADRC controller generates a first output control signal for controlling a first cooling element, wherein the first output control signal is generated according a first estimated temperature and a first estimated disturbance calculated by a first extended state observer (ESO) of the first ADRC controller.

Abstract:
A storage system with temperature control. The system includes a plurality of storage devices such as solid state drives, a system controller such as a baseboard management controller, and one or more cooling fans. Each storage devices includes a controller configured to estimate the heat load in the storage device and/or an effective temperature, resulting from operations performed in the storage device. The system controller employs active disturbance rejection control to adjust the fan speed based on the estimated heat loads, the estimated temperatures, and/or the sensed internal temperatures, of the storage devices.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the inventive concept include solid state drive (SSD) multi-card adapters that can include multiple solid state drive cards, which can be incorporated into existing enterprise servers without major architectural changes, thereby enabling the server industry ecosystem to easily integrate evolving solid state drive technologies into servers. The SSD multi-card adapters can include an interface section between various solid state drive cards and drive connector types. The interface section can perform protocol translation, packet switching and routing, data encryption, data compression, management information aggregation, virtualization, and other functions.
