A data storage device and method are provided for speculation-driven partial shutdown. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors, individually or in combination, are configured to: receive, from a host, a speculation weight indicative of an impending ungraceful shutdown of the data storage device; determine whether the speculation weight is above a threshold; and in response to determining that the speculation weight is above the threshold, perform a partial shutdown of the data storage device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
