Claim:
1. A method of managing temperature of a solid state disk (SSD) device, the method comprising: monitoring, using temperature readings from a temperature sensor, the temperature of the SSD device over time, wherein the SSD device has a set of data transfer parameters; detecting the temperature satisfying a first threshold; determining a first data transfer modification which is capable of modifying a first data transfer parameter of the set of data transfer parameters; modifying, in response to the temperature satisfying the first threshold, the first data transfer parameter with the first data transfer modification; and completing one or more Input/Output (I/O) operations with the SSD device using the modified first data transfer parameter, wherein the first data transfer modification comprises switching a method of writing data to the SSD device between writing to random cells of the SSD device and writing to sequential cells of the SSD device.
