Abstract
A method for active power management in a Serial ATA interface for data transfer between a host and a device, the method starts with the determining of an optimal data transfer rate for transferring data between the host and the device. Then switching the Serial ATA interface into an active power saving mode based on the optimal data transfer rate is performed.
