An image forming apparatus includes a solid state drive (SSD) that stores information, a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) controller that reads information from the SSD, writes information to the SSD, and transmits a device sleep (DEVSLP) signal for shifting the SSD to a DEVSLP state, and a power source control unit that can stop power to the SATA controller and transmits the DEVSLP signal for shifting the SSD to the DEVSLP state during a period in which the power to the SATA controller is stopped.

Information processing apparatus and control method for information processing apparatus

A sub-CPU of a storage system discriminates in advance whether a storage device connected to a SATA bridge is an HDD (a first type) or an SSD (a second type). Upon receiving a power saving shift instruction that does not distinguish a type of the storage device from a main CPU via a SATA controller, the sub-CPU instructs a power control unit corresponding to the discriminated type to perform power control for causing the storage device to shift to a power saving state. The sub-CPU makes an instruction for power control to a GPIO if the discriminated type is HDD, and has a SATA host I/F cause the storage device shift to the power saving state if the discriminated type is SSD.
