Abstract:
Devices and techniques for enhanced flush transfer efficiency in a storage device are described herein. A flush trigger for a user data write can be identified. Here, user data corresponds to the user data write and was stored in a buffer. The size of the user data stored in the buffer is smaller than a write width for a storage device subject to the write. The difference ins the user data size in the buffer and the write width is buffer free space. Additional data can be marshalled in response to the identification of the flush trigger. Here, the additional data size is less than or equal to the buffer free space. The user data and the additional data can then be written to the storage device.
