Systems and methods for determining a relationship between write fault threshold and temperature are described. The systems and methods include measuring an operating temperature of the storage device, determining a current operating temperature of the storage device, determining whether the current operating temperature of the storage device satisfies a temperature threshold, and upon determining the current operating temperature of the storage device satisfies the temperature threshold, modifying a write fault threshold associated with a data track of the storage device.

Methods and apparatuses for detecting mode hopping in a laser diode or other optical energy source in heat-assisted magnetic recording. An output power of the laser diode or other optical energy source is measured and the output power is differentiated over time to determine a rate of change. If it is determined that the rate of change exceeds a threshold value, a fault signal is asserted indicating a potential mode hopping event.

Systems and methods are disclosed for managing temperature in a data storage device. A data storage device includes non-volatile solid-state memory, a temperature sensor, a heating device, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a temperature signal from the temperature sensor indicating a temperature of at least a portion of the data storage device, determine that the temperature is below a first predetermined threshold, activate the heating device to increase the temperature of the at least a portion of the data storage device, and write data associated with a write command to the non-volatile solid-state memory.

Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with protecting data during cold excursions are provided. A method for preventing unreliable data operations at cold temperatures may include determining whether a first temperature of a solid state drive (SSD) is below a threshold temperature. The method may also include initiating an artificial read/write operation if the first temperature is below the threshold temperature.
