Abstract
The present disclosure relates to examples of reducing memory write operations using coalescing memory buffers. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method comprises computing a difference between a current state of data of at least one block of a storage device to which data is to be written and a state that would result from a write operation. The method further comprises populating at least one coalescing memory buffer with difference information associated with the difference and to be used to update an associated block of the storage device.
