1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a power circuit; and
another constituent member, the constituent member including at least a first controller and a solid-state memory, and the solid-state memory including a second controller and a storage medium,
wherein the power circuit supplies operating power, which is power used to operate the constituent member,
the power circuit
selects a first power supply mode for converting the power into the operating power where power is supplied from an external power source, and
selects a second power supply mode for converting power from a secondary battery into the operating power where power is not supplied from an external power source,
the second controller
executes garbage collection for the storage medium regardless of an operation mode notified from the first controller where the first power supply mode is selected, and
determines whether garbage collection for the storage medium is necessary where the second power supply mode is selected and a change to a power saving mode, which is an operation mode having less power consumption than standard power consumption, is instructed as the operation mode,
the solid-state memory includes a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of the solid-state memory, and
the second controller estimates, based on the temperature, whether the first power supply mode or the second power supply mode has been selected.
