Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling startup of a hard disk drive system, and a storage device. The hard disk drive system includes two or more hard disk drives. The method for controlling startup of a hard disk drive system includes: latching the initialization states of all the hard disk drives after all hard disk drives are powered on; dividing all hard disk drives into two or more hard drive groups, each hard drive group includes more than one hard disk drive; sequentially perform link initialization negotiation on each hard drive group by using a port protocol; and in an OOB negotiation process of the link initialization negotiation, by setting the state of an SCSI application layer power state machine, control a motor of each hard disk drive in the hard drive group to enter a spinning state.
