Data storage system and management method thereof are provided. The method, adopted by a data storage device coupled to a host device via a bus, includes: determining the data storage device requires to use a first temporary memory of the host device to access data in a second temporary memory of the data storage device; based on the determination, issuing a Device Bus Master (DBM) request message via the bus to the host to request for a right to control data transfer on the bus; in response to the DBM request message, detecting the bus to determine whether to receive a first DBM acknowledgement message from the host device; and if the first DBM acknowledgement message is received, then accessing the first temporary memory of the host device.
A method, adopted by a data storage device coupled to a host device via a bus, comprising:
