Abstract
A data storage device and method for device-initiated hibernation are provided. In one embodiment, the data storage device comprises a non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive, from a host during a set-up phase of a hibernation process, a plurality of write commands with a current state of a volatile memory in the host; store the plurality of write commands in a queue, wherein the plurality of write commands are not executed during the set-up phase of the hibernation process; receive a trigger from the host to perform an execution phase of the hibernation process; and in response to receiving the trigger, execute the plurality of write commands to store the current state of the host's volatile memory in the non-volatile memory of the data storage device. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
