Abstract
A technique of automatically managing power consumption by predicting data storage utilization events based upon individual data storage drive utilization history, drive properties, client storage usage and behavior trends is described. The behavior trends may include customer actions, such as reduced weekend and holiday data storage system usage rates. The technique collects operational data and calculates statistical trends in utilization rates for each data storage drive, and for the overall data storage system. The technique automatically switches individual data storage drives to an appropriate power and performance level based upon predicted utilization demand, including shut down and restarts to reduce data storage system power consumption without adversely impacting data storage system performance.
