Claim Text:
1. A storage system housed within a chassis, the storage system comprising: a thermal chamber configured within the chassis and comprising: a heating system comprising a plurality of heating elements, wherein one of the plurality of heating elements is configured to add heat locally to a subset of the plurality of solid state storage devices; and a temperature regulating system configured to cause the cooling system to remove heat from the thermal chamber and simultaneously cause the one of the plurality of heating elements to add heat locally to the subset of the plurality of solid state storage devices to maintain each of the solid state storage devices within a fixed range of temperature in a presence of a temperature gradient within the thermal chamber due to a location of the cooling system, based on an operating condition and a projected lifetime of a solid state storage device in the operating condition sensitive to temperatures outside a fixed range.
