Abstract:
1. A network storage system for providing data access to a plurality of connected computing devices, the network storage system housed within a chassis, the network storage system comprising: a first thermal chamber within the chassis, comprising: a first set of fans for generating a first airflow within the first thermal chamber, the first airflow passing through the one or more heat sinks to transport the heat generated by the plurality of electronic components away from the plurality of electronic components and to maintain the plurality of electronic components below a first temperature; a second thermal chamber within the chassis, the second thermal chamber being substantially thermally isolated from the first chamber, and comprising: a second set of fans for generating a second airflow through the second thermal chamber, the second airflow passing over the one or more heat spreaders to transport heat to and from the one or more heat spreaders such that the plurality of solid state storage devices are maintained within a fixed range of a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.
