ABSTRACT
SSDs are becoming mainstream data storage devices, replacing HDDs in most data centers, consumer goods, and IoT gadgets. In this work, we ask an uncharted research question: What is the environmental conditions’ impact on SSD performance? To answer it, we systematically measure, quantify, and characterize the impact of various commonly changing environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity on the performance of SSDs. Our experiments and analysis uncover that exposure to changes in temperature and humidity can significantly affect SSD performance.
Keywords: Robust Performance, Ssds, Design Of Tests.
