Zusammenfassung:SYSTEM, METHOD, AND MODULE FOR REDUCING POWER STATES FOR STORAGE DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED LOGICAL VOLUMES A system, method, and module for reducing power states for storage devices and associated logical volumes are disclosed. In one form, a method of altering an operating state of a storage device can include detecting a request to access a first logical volume over an interval. The method can also include determining an association of a storage device to the first logical volume. The method can further include determining if the storage device is operably associated with a second logical volume, and altering an operating state of the storage device in response to detecting the request and determining the association with the second logical volume.
