Zusammenfassung:	Techniques are provided for selective powering of storage drive components in a storage node based on system performance limits. One method comprises determining a number of storage drive components, of multiple storage drive components in a storage node, needed to support at least one workload of the storage node, wherein the determining is based at least in part on a number of storage drive components needed to support a system performance limit determined using a component performance limit of at least one other component of the storage node, wherein the component performance limit is based at least in part on one or more of an expected number of input/output operations of the storage node and an expected bandwidth of the storage node; and initiating an application of power to the determined number of storage drive components of the storage node.
