Innodisk Assigned Three Patents

Data storage device having thermal protection
Innodisk Corporation, New Taipei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (11,240,907) developed by Chang, Shuang-Te, New Taipei, Taiwan, for a “data storage device having thermal protection.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The invention provides a data storage device comprising a shell, a main circuit board, and an external connector. The shell comprises a plurality of vents. The main circuit board is placed in the shell, and covered by a fire protection material. The main circuit board is provided with a controller and a plurality of flash memory elements. The external connector is disposed outside the shell. When the data storage device is in a fire scene, the flash memory elements on the main circuit board can be avoided to be burned since the fire protection material covers the main circuit board. Further, the data storage device has a better heat dissipation and convection effect via the vents of the shell, such that the data storage device can cool down quickly, and thereby the integrity of data storage can ensured.”

The patent application was filed on May 5, 2020 (16/866,897).

Data protection
Innodisk Corporation, New Taipei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (11,238,183) developed by Kuo, Chin-Chung, New Taipei, Taiwan, for “data protection system and method.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A data protection system is disclosed. The data protection system comprises a cloud management platform and at least one data storage device. The cloud management platform includes a database stored with at least one key. The data storage device includes a data storage unit, a microprocessor, and a network communication component. The microprocessor is communicated with the cloud management platform by the network communication component. The data storage unit comprises a controller and a plurality of flash memories. The flash memories store a plurality of encrypted data. The microprocessor sends a key extraction request including a unique code to the cloud management platform. The cloud management platform selects the key matching to the unique code in the key extraction request from the database, and transmits the selected key to the data storage device. The controller of the data storage device decrypts the encrypted data by the keyA data protection system is disclosed.

Storage device capable of self-accessing data file
Innodisk Corporation, New Taipei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (11,231,880) developed by Chen, Ming-Sheng, New Taipei, Taiwan, for a “data storage device capable of self-accessing data file.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The invention provides a data storage device capable of self-accessing data file, which comprises a data storage unit and a microprocessor. The data storage unit includes a controller and a plurality of flash memories. The microprocessor is provided with an operating system, and is connected to the data storage unit through a data transmission interface. The operating system is configured with a file system, and a driver program of the data transmission interface. The operating system of the microprocessor performs a data access operation to the data storage unit via the driver program to obtain a raw data. Then, the file system in the operating system performs a file parsing process to the raw data to parse out a file information of the raw data. Accordingly, the data storage device is capable of self-accessing the data file of the flash memories by the operating system configured in the microprocessor.”
