20110038123 | SOLID STATE DATA STORAGE ASSEMBLY - A solid state data storage assembly includes thermal interface material that conducts heat away from electrical components of the assembly. In some examples, the thermal interface material is positioned between a printed circuit board assembly, which includes electrical components, and a cover of a housing of the data storage assembly. The thermal interface material may also provide shock protection for the data storage assembly by at least one of increasing a stiffness of the data storage assembly, absorbing some mechanical loads applied to the data storage assembly or distributing the applied loads. In addition, in some examples, the thermal interface material exhibits some tackiness, such that removal of a thermal interface material from a data storage assembly and subsequent repositioning of the thermal interface material within the data storage assembly may provide a visual indication of tampering. | 02-17-2011 |
20150052416 | Determining Data Retention Time in a Solid-State Non-Volatile Memory - Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory, such as a flash memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, a test pattern is written to a selected block of solid-state non-volatile memory cells. The test pattern is read from the selected block and a total number of read errors is identified. A data retention time is determined in response to the total number of read errors and an elapsed time interval between the writing of the test pattern and the reading of the test pattern. Data in a second block of the solid-state non-volatile memory cells are thereafter refreshed in relation to the determined data retention time. | 02-19-2015 |

20100332896 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR BACKUP POWER CONTROL IN DATA STORAGE DEVICES - Power-backup capabilities are provided by implementing a variety of different methods, systems and devices. According to one such implementation, a capacitive storage circuit is operated at a threshold voltage that is set to provide sufficient power to operate backup functions of a data storage device, and that is further selectively adjusted during a test period to maintain such sufficient power while also providing power to carry out test functions. In other implementations, the threshold voltage is set in response to operating characteristics of one or more of a data storage device to which backup power is to be provided and the capacitive storage circuit itself. The threshold voltage is reduced or otherwise maintained at a low level that is yet sufficient to supply appropriate power (e.g., thus maintaining the capacitive circuit at a voltage level that is about as low as possible, which can enhance operational characteristics of the capacitive circuit). | 12-30-2010 |
