Abstract
In one embodiment, a data storage device comprises a buffer, a buffer manager, and a buffer client. The buffer client is configured to receive data to be stored in the buffer, to compute a difference between a bank boundary address of the buffer and a starting buffer address for the data, to generate a first data burst having a length equal to the computed difference and including a first portion of the data, and to send the first data burst to the buffer manager, wherein the buffer manager is configured to write the first data burst to the buffer.
