A system includes a host device, an external bus and a storage device. A driver is installed in the host device. The external bus is connected with the host device. The external bus supports a communication protocol. The storage device includes a controlling circuit and a non-volatile memory. After the storage device issues a request to the host device according to the communication protocol, a reserved space is created in a host memory of the host device in response to the request, and a device information from the storage device is stored into the reserved space. While the host device issues a first command to operate the storage device, the first command is converted into a second command by the driver according to the device information, and then the second command is transmitted to the storage device.

System with solid state drive and control method thereof

An electronic device with a solid state drive and associated control method are provided. The electronic device includes: a host; a power supply component, for providing electric power to the host and the solid state drive; and the solid state drive including a control unit electrically connected to the host through a bus, a cache memory electrically connected to the control component, and a flash memory electrically connected to the control component. When a remaining power of the power supply component decreases to a threshold value, the host controls the solid state drive to enter a data secure mode and disables the cache memory; and when the remaining power of the power supply component is above the threshold value, the host controls the solid state drive to enter a high performance mode and enables the cache memory.
