Abstract: A data storage system with intelligent power management includes a plurality of data storage devices and a controller. Each data storage device is capable of operating in one of (N+1) power saving functions where N is an integer larger than 1. The (N+1) power saving functions sequentially correspond to from the 0th to the Nth power saving levels. The controller reads a user-setting power saving level (I) where I is an integer index ranging from 0 to N. The controller reads a current power saving level (J) of a current power saving function of one of the plurality of data storage devices where J is an integer index ranging from 0 to N. The controller controls said one data storage device to operate in one power saving function among the (N+1) power saving functions according to the user-setting power saving level (I) and the current power saving level (J).

Abstract: A thunderbolt device module is provided. The thunderbolt device module of the invention includes a first interface protocol component, a thunderbolt controller and a second interface protocol component. A root complex of an electronic device is via a bus, conforming to a PCIe interface protocol, directly or indirectly electrically coupled to the second interface protocol component. The first interface protocol component and the second interface protocol component both conform to a predetermined interface protocol. In particular, the predetermined interface protocol is not the PCIe interface protocol, but supports the PCIe interface protocol. The thunderbolt controller is electrically coupled to the first interface protocol component. The second interface protocol component is electrically coupled to the first interface protocol component. The communication between the second interface protocol component and the first interface protocol component conforms to the predetermined interface protocol.
