A method, computer program product, system (including a circuit card), and integrated circuit for initializing a buffer pool, such that the buffer pool includes a plurality of data buffers available for use during a plurality of I/O transfers. In response to the initiation of a first I/O transfer concerning a first data portion being transferred from a first data source to a first data target, the first data portion is written to a first portion of the plurality of data buffers. The first data portion is transferred to the first data target, and the first portion of the plurality of data buffers is released back to the buffer pool for use during one or more subsequent I/O transfers.
