1. A storage device comprising:

  • non-volatile memory;

    a device controller for controlling access to the non-volatile memory; and

    a host memory buffer (HMB)-assisted power state transition module operatively associated with the device controller for storing storage device state information in a host memory buffer (HMB) in memory of host device separate from the storage device prior to the storage device entering a lower power state and for using the state information stored in the HMB to transition the storage device from the lower power state to a higher power state.
