<p>This invention proposes a storage controller and its power saving methods capable of significantly saving power consumption. The storage controller of this invention is connected to host terminals and storage devices, controls data storage in the storage devices, and includes a microprocessor including one or more ports and at the same time controlling the entire relevant device via the relevant ports, and multiple types of components including one or more ports and at the same time conFiguring data paths between the host terminals and the storage devices via the relevant ports, and the microprocessor detects, among the ports of the relevant microprocessor or the component, those not connected to any of the host terminals, any of the storage devices, or any of the ports of the other components as unconnected ports, and stops the power supply to the detected unconnected ports.</p> |
