成功事例

The customer is a well-known Taiwanese networking equipment manufacturer specializing in the development of high-performance, high-stability network communication products. In the development of their next-generation networking equipment, the customer adopted a fanless, silent design to enhance product reliability and meet the low-noise requirements of specific application scenarios.

Customer Requirements

The customer needed to integrate a high-capacity NVMe Gen 4x4 M.2 2280 SSD into their new gateway product to meet high-speed access demands, with an emphasis on performance stability during long-term operation.

During initial testing, ADATA's industrial team discovered a significant "Thermal Cycling" issue in the customer's fanless system. Due to the lack of active cooling, heat generated by the SSD during high-speed operation could not dissipate effectively, causing the controller to trigger Thermal Throttling for temperature protection. This resulted in periodic performance fluctuations that directly impacted the transmission stability of the end device, becoming a major bottleneck in product development.

ADATA Industrial Solution

Facing this challenge, ADATA Industrial delivered the NVMe Gen 4x4 IM2P41B8 M.2 2280 SSD solution. Drawing on deep expertise in firmware integration, we implemented a customized Thermal Throttling technology that fundamentally resolved the customer's thermal concerns:

Precision Temperature Zone Calibration
ADATA's engineering team analyzed the thermal distribution and temperature variation behavior of the customer's fanless system and re-engineered the Thermal Throttling trigger points and frequency scaling curve. Unlike standard firmware that relies on a single temperature threshold, our customized firmware adopts multi-stage intelligent frequency scaling, ensuring performance adjusts in a smooth, linear manner—eliminating abrupt drops and spikes.

Balanced Optimization of Performance and Temperature
By fine-tuning the dynamic thermal management algorithm within the firmware, the SSD sustains high-performance output for extended periods within the thermal limits of the customer's system. The scaling increments are precisely calculated to minimize performance fluctuations, guaranteeing stable and reliable data transmission.
