Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include systems and methods for reducing bus transfers for a storage device. In particular, these systems and methods reduce bus transfers by modifying an interface transfer protocol which designates the size of a multiple block read or write command is transmitted in a separate block transfer size command. Separate block transfer size commands can be omitted where the storage device maintains a record of a previously used block transfer size and reuses the size for subsequent multiple block read or write commands.
