A method for waking up a plurality of hibernated mass storage devices is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first command from a control circuit for accessing data stored in a plurality of hibernated mass storage devices; dividing the plurality of hibernated mass storage devices into a plurality of mass storage groups; waking up a first mass storage group of the plurality of mass storage groups; and notifying the control circuit to stop sending commands to the remaining hibernated mass storage devices in a period of time.

A device power is supplied for running a storage device. When a device error occurs, a recovery operation is performed on the storage device. When the recovery operation fails, the device power is reset in a compatibility verification operation and the recovery operation is performed again on the storage device.

Method of operating a storage device

At startup of an apparatus including a memory and an operating device, an operating system is loaded to the memory as an operating system. While an idle time of the operating device exceeds a predetermined time, the loaded operating system cuts power to the operating device so that the operating device can be completely shut down. As a result, power consumption of the operating device is significantly reduced.
