    Abstract: Techniques for reducing power consumption of a storage controller are provided. An example method includes determining a back-end bandwidth of a storage system, wherein the back-end of the storage system includes a storage drive communicatively coupled to a storage controller. The method also includes determining a front-end bandwidth of the storage system, wherein the front-end of the storage system includes a front-end bus coupling the storage controller to a host. The method also includes computing a target back-end memory bandwidth based on the back-end bandwidth and computing a target front-end memory bandwidth based on the front-end bandwidth. The method also includes reducing power consumption of the storage controller by reducing a clock frequency of a memory device of the storage controller based on the greater of the target back-end memory bandwidth and the target front-end memory bandwidth.

    Abstract: Examples of runtime drive detection and configuration are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer implemented method includes detecting, by a computing system, that a drive is connected to the computing system during a runtime using a sideband signal of the drive. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, a drive type for the drive. Additionally, the method includes configuring, by the computing system, during a runtime, a PCIe multiplexer based on the determined drive type.
