A data storage system for managing an operation of a solid-state device (SSD) includes the SSD, an adaptor coupled to the SSD via a first bus protocol and including a non-volatile memory storing a power configuration table. The protocol converter is configured to: couple to the adaptor using the first bus protocol, convert first signals of the first bus protocol to second signals for a second bus protocol, and couple to a host using the second bus protocol. The power configuration table includes power profiles for the SSD each corresponding to an interface type for the second bus protocol. The protocol converter is further configured to: determine an interface type of the second bus protocol, read the power configuration table from the non-volatile memory to determine a power profile corresponding to the determined interface type, and cause the SSD to operate using the determined power profile.
