Abstract
A computer system and a power management method thereof are provided. The computer system includes a storage apparatus and a processor. The processor is coupled to the storage apparatus. The processor obtains a state transition time of the storage apparatus. The state transition time is the time the storage apparatus takes to enter a power state and leave the power state. The processor changes a transition tolerance time according to the state transition time. In response to an idle timeout, the processor determines whether the storage apparatus enters the power state according to a comparison result between the transition tolerance time and the state transition time. Accordingly, power consumption and performance are improved.
