Abstract
A solid state drive (SSD) device includes: non-volatile memory, and volatile memory associated with an SSD device controller. In response to determining that the SSD device is to transition to a power saving mode, information is transferred from the volatile memory to a host memory of a host computer via a communication interface, and the at least some of the volatile memory is transitioned to an OFF state. In response to determining that the SSD device is to transition from the power saving mode to a normal operating mode, the at least some of the volatile memory of the SSD device is transitioned to an ON state in which the at least some of the volatile memory is capable of retaining data, and the information from the host memory is transferred to the volatile memory of the SSD device via the communication interface.
