Abstract
A method includes determining, based on an indication from a host device operatively coupled to a data storage device that includes a controller, a non-volatile memory including a hibernate area, a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory interface, and a volatile memory interface, that the data storage device is to enter a low-power state. The method includes, in response to determining that the data storage device is to enter a low-power state, performing a data save operation. The data save operation bypasses the non-volatile memory interface and the volatile memory interface and copies data from the volatile memory of the data storage device to the hibernate area of the non-volatile memory of the data storage device.
