1. A data storage system comprising:
- memory configured to store content;
a host configured to determine time to next data information based on the content stored in the memory; and
a data storage device comprising a controller configured to;
receive the time to next data information from the host;
select a power mode for the data storage device from a plurality of power modes for the data storage device based on the time to next data information and based on an impact of the selected power mode on a longevity of electromechanical components of the data storage device; and
place the data storage device in the selected power mode,wherein the host is further configured to transmit the time to next data information to the data storage device.

Abstract
A data storage system including memory configured to store content, a host configured to determine time to next data information based on the content stored in the memory, and a data storage device including a controller. The controller can be configured to receive the time to next data information from the host, select a power mode for the data storage device from a plurality of power modes for the data storage device based on the time to next data information, and place the data storage device in the selected power mode. The host can be configured to transmit the time to next data information to the data storage device.

11. A method for operating a data storage system comprising:
-
determining time to next data information based on content stored in a memory in the data storage system using a host in the data storage system; transmitting the time to next data information to a data storage device in the data storage system; receiving the time to next data information at a controller in the data storage device; selecting, using the controller, a power mode for the data storage device from a plurality of power modes for the data storage device based on the time to next data information and based on an impact of the selected power mode on a longevity of electromechanical components of the data storage device; and placing the data storage device in the selected power mode using the controller. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
