Abstract
A data storage system includes a data storage controller, a data storage device, and a logic circuit. The logic circuit receives hard drive status information from the data storage controller. The information is communicated by a first status signal and a second status signal. The logic circuit provides a power control signal to the data storage device based on a logic state of the first status signal and a logic state of the second status signal.
