Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for power loss protection of one or more storage resources may include receiving information from each of the one or more storage resources regarding power loss protection capabilities of such storage resource. The method may also include based on the information, repurposing, for each power loss protection capable storage resource, a communications channel between a logic device and such power loss protection capable storage resource for transmission of a respective early power-off warning signal for such power loss protection capable storage resource. The method may further include in response to a power event of a power supply unit for providing electrical energy to the one or more storage resources, asserting for each power loss protection capable storage resource its respective early power-off warning signal.
