To prevent overheating, Meltron equips SSD products with a built-in thermal sensor to monitor the temperature of the SSD via S.M.A.R.T commands and configures the drive with firmware deployment of thermal throttling to manage the device temperature when responding to increased temperature conditions.

When the temperature of SSD reaches a certain level which could lead to malfunction of the drive, thermal throttling will be activated to control the temperature of the drive to not exceed its maximum threshold temperature by reducing its performance. Once the temperature decreases to the minimum threshold value, transfer speeds will rise back to its optimum performance level.

This protective mechanism can ensure SSD operates within temperature limits to keep user data and the device safe as well as extend product longevity.
