Claim 9:
10. A storage device, comprising:
a plurality of dies each comprising n sets of memory locations, a corresponding one of the n sets from each die coupled together to form one meta-set of n meta-sets, each meta-set comprising a maximum addressable unit of a host input/output (I/O) operation; and
a controller in thermal communication with each of the dies and configured to:
detect an excess temperature on at least one of the dies while performing a sequence of host writes;
disable all writes to the detected at least one die while continuing the host writes to the other dies in the corresponding one or more of the n meta-sets; and
re-activate writes to the detected at least one die when the temperature drops below a threshold.
