Active-state power management (ASPM) is a power management mechanism for PCI Express devices to garner power savings while otherwise in a fully active state. Predominantly, this is achieved through active-state link power management; i.e., the PCI Express serial link is powered down when there is no traffic across it.
When enabled via the AHCI controller, this allows the SATA host bus adapter to enter a low-power state during periods of inactivity, thus saving energy. The drawback to this is increased periodic latency as the drive must be re-activated and brought back on-line before it can be used, and this will often appear as a delay to the end-user.

hdparm is a command line program for Linux to set and view ATA hard disk drive hardware parameters and test performance. [2] [3] It can set parameters such as drive caches, sleep mode, power management, acoustic management, and DMA settings. GParted [citation needed] and Parted Magic both include hdparm. [4]
The utility can set different power management settings depending on usage scenario. Different settings can be applied for when the machine is running off a charger, battery, UPS, or all three. The appropriate flags are as follows: -c (charger), adjust settings used while connected to a charger
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring. It was first released in ...
Apple's macOS includes idle and sleep configuration settings through the Energy Saver System Preferences applet. [4] Likewise, Linux distributions include a variety of power management settings and tools. [5] There is a significant market in third-party PC power management software offering features beyond those present in the Windows operating ...
Green Ethernet technology was a superset of the 802.3az standard. In addition to the link load power savings of Energy-Efficient Ethernet, Green Ethernet works in one of two ways. First, it detects link status, allowing each port on the switch to power down into a standby mode when a connected device, such as a computer, is not active.
