1. A disk drive internal temperature control system, comprising:
- a disk drive temperature monitor for determining an internal temperature of said disk drive and for providing a measure of said temperature of said disk drive, said temperature monitor configured to operate within said disk drive;
a disk drive temperature manager for managing said temperature of said disk drive based on said measure of said temperature of said disk drive, said disk drive temperature manager configured to operate within said disk drive; and
a temperature control component configured to operate within said disk drive for controlling said internal temperature of said disk drive wherein said temperature control component initiates cooling of said disk drive in response to said disk drive reaching a first temperature and said temperature control component initiates heating of said disk drive in response to said disk drive reaching a second temperature.
