Thermal identification of data storage devices

A data storage device includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor outputs a temperature signal corresponding to a detected temperature. An identification unit connected to the temperature sensor generates and outputs an identification signal based on the temperature signal. A plurality of...

Zusammenfassung:A data storage device includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor outputs a temperature signal corresponding to a detected temperature. An identification unit connected to the temperature sensor generates and outputs an identification signal based on the temperature signal. A plurality of such data storage devices can therefore be identified by their relative position to an interrogator which outputs heat.
