ABSTRACT:
A storage controller and a method for controlling a storage controller, including a plurality of nonvolatile memory modules having a plurality of nonvolatile memory chips for storing data from a host computer and a nonvolatile memory control unit for controlling data input to and output from the host computer by controlling a power source for the nonvolatile memory modules. The nonvolatile memory control unit, when reading or writing data from or to a designated nonvolatile memory module at a specified time in response to a data read/write request from the host computer, controls the power source for only the designated nonvolatile memory module to be turned on that can maintain its performance and reduce power consumption and thereby realize large capacity and low power consumption.
