| | New Power-Saving DevSleep Feature Added To SATA Specification Quote: More power is a good thing when you’re talking desktops, but for notebooks, more power means less battery life – and in this age of Ultrabooks and ultraportables, that just isn’t acceptable to a lot of manufacturers. In yet another step towards making those Ultrabooks ultra long lasting, the SATA-IO organization announced a new feature yesterday: SATA DevSleep. Basically, DevSleep lets PHY and other circuitry drop into an almost completely powerless state – rather than a still power-consuming “Partial” or “Slumber” state – when it isn’t being used.

It is devices that require mechanical components to come up to speed like a standard HDD spinning up etc. Once everything becomes solid state and software load times come way down as seen with win8 you will see instant on devices. If you had a laptop with an SSD and win8 it would come pretty close to being instant on right now. The advantage of this as a power saving option to simply allow constant on devices is spectacular though. Power cycling electronics can be harsh in certain climates and allowing them to run constant would be a great thing indeed. But for the rest of us we see a bigger advantage in being able to utilize a device while away or save power to prolong battery life or save money. Either way many benefits and almost no cons to speak of. |
