This application provides a storage system includes disks grouped into disk groups. One disk group processes an IO service, and another disk group is in an energy-saving state or a sleep state and provides a standby disk for a previous disk group. IO load is focused on a disk in one disk group, so that a requirement for processing the IO service is satisfied by using this group of disks. In addition, the another disk group may save energy or sleep, so that more energy consumption can be reduced. Moreover, resource pools of different levels are implemented by using a plurality of disk groups. When a disk in a previous disk group is in shortage, a capacity of the previous disk group can be expanded by using a next disk group.

A method of controlling an operating temperature of a data storage device is disclosed. A threshold temperature for the storage device is set. Over time, during operation of the data storage device, an operating temperature of the storage device is measured at a plurality of points in time. A plurality of temperature measurements as a function of time are thereby obtained. Above threshold temperature measurements are accumulated over time to form a high temperature accumulation value (V.sub.high), and below threshold temperature measurements are accumulated to form a low temperature accumulation value (V.sub.low). The low temperature accumulation value (V.sub.low) and the high temperature accumulation value (V.sub.high) are compared. If an outcome of the comparison is that the high temperature accumulation value (V.sub.high) is too high in relation to the low temperature accumulation value (V.sub.low), an operating temperature lowering action is initiated.

Methods, systems, and devices for suspend operation with data transfer to a host system are described. A host system may transmit a read command to a memory system operating in a first mode of operation (e.g., a standard mode associated with a nominal power consumption) indicating for the memory system to transition to a second mode of operation (e.g., a suspend mode associated with a decreased power consumption). Here, the memory system may transmit an image of the memory system stored in volatile memory to the host system and transition the memory system to the second mode. Additionally, the host system may transmit, to the memory system operating in the second mode, a write command including the image and indicating for the memory system to transition to the first mode. Here, the memory system may write the image to the volatile memory and transition to the first mode.
