Improved techniques for recovering from an error condition without requiring a re-transmittal of data across a high-speed data link and for improved power usage are disclosed herein. A data stream is initiated. This stream includes different types of packets. Error correcting code (ECC) is selectively imposed on a control data type packet. A transmitter node and a receiver node are connected via a hard link that has multiple virtual channels. Each virtual channel is associated with a corresponding power-consuming node. When the receiver node receives the control data type packet, error correction is performed if needed without re-transmittal. When a final data type packet is transmitted for each virtual channel, the transmitter node transmits an end condition type packet. A corresponding power-consuming node that corresponds to the respective virtual channel transitions from an active state to a low power state.

The present disclosure generally relates to power management for an external storage device. The external storage device includes a power allocation unit coupled to an array of memory devices. A single bridge is present to provide a connection to a host device. The memory devices have operational power states that utilize a first amount of power and non-operational power states that utilize a second amount of power that is less than the first amount of power. The power allocation unit changes the power state of the individual memory devices between operational and non-operational based upon need, but also ensures that the external storage device does not exceed the total power allocation. Thus, the power allocation unit may change a power state of one memory device from operational to non-operational in order to change the power state of another memory device from non-operational to operational.
