Abstract
According to some examples, systems and methods are provided for determining a set of power states supported by a data storage device and applying an operation to the data storage device based on whether the set of power states includes a low power state.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a computer system, whether a data storage device coupled to a low-power device interface of the computer system is compatible with a particular data access specification;
- in response to determining that the data storage device is compatible, obtaining information regarding a set of power states supported by the data storage device, the information being obtained from the data storage device according to the particular data access specification;
- and
- determining, based on the information regarding the set of power states, whether the data storage device supports a low power state.
1 more element
A computer system, comprising:
- a low-power device interface to couple to a data storage device;
- a compatibility module to determine whether the data storage device is compatible with a particular data access specification;
- a power state information module to obtain, in response to determining that the data storage device is compatible, information regarding a set of power states supported by the data storage device, the information being obtained from the data storage device according to the particular data access specification;
- and
- a power state support module to determine, based on the information regarding the set of power states, whether the data storage device supports a low power state.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions being executable by a processor of a computer system, the instructions causing the processor to:
- determine whether a data storage device coupled to the computer system is compatible with a particular data access specification;
- in response to the data storage device being compatible with a particular data access specification, obtain information regarding a set of power states supported by the data storage device, the information being obtained from the data storage device according to the particular data access specification;
- and
- disable the data storage device in response to the data storage device not being compatible with the particular data access specification;
- determine, based on the information regarding the set of power states, whether the data storage device supports a low power state;
- and
- disable the data storage device in response to determining that the data storage device does not support the low power state.
