1. A method for power distribution comprising:
detecting, by a processor, a first interface connected to a first storage device, the first interface for transferring data to the first storage device, the first interface being selected from a plurality of interfaces including the first interface and a second interface, the second interface having a second power requirement different from a first power requirement of the first interface;
receiving a first identification signal for the first interface;
determining, by the processor, the first power requirement of the first storage device based on the first identification signal for the first interface;
identifying, by the processor, a first amount of power provided to the first storage device from a first power supply unit; and
transmitting a second signal to a second power supply unit for providing a second amount of power to the first storage device based on the first amount of power and the first power requirement of the first storage device.
