Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method and Serially Attached SCSI (SAS) controller for transmitting data using SCSI. In an embodiment, a plurality of I/O operations received from a storage unit are fragmented into a plurality of blocks. Further, each of the plurality of blocks are mapped with corresponding memory drives. Thereafter, a reduced number of virtual lanes required for transmitting the plurality of blocks to the corresponding memory drives is estimated. Finally, the reduced number of virtual lanes are created for transmitting the plurality of blocks to the corresponding memory drives. In an embodiment, the present disclosure uses virtual lanes for transmitting data, thereby eliminating requirement of dedicated, physical lanes for transmitting the data. Consequently, according to embodiments of present disclosure, the SAS controller may be configured to simultaneously activate multiple virtual lanes for completing the data transmission, thereby resulting in faster and reliable data transmission.
