SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR DATA STORAGE WITH SPECIFIED DATA TRANSFER RATE

A method may include receiving, at a storage device, a command for a data transfer between the storage device and a host, determining a specified data rate for the data transfer, and performing the data transfer between the storage device and the host based on the command, wherein the storage device may control the data transfer based on the specified data rate. The data transfer may include a peak portion and an idle portion. The method may further include controlling, at the storage device, a peak portion and an idle portion of the data transfer based on the specified data rate. The method may further include controlling, at the storage device, the data transfer based on a peak burst size. The specified data rate may be received from the host and/or determined by the storage device by monitoring one or more parameters of a data transfer.
