Abstract
A data storage subsystem is disclosed that implements a solid-state data buffering scheme. Prior to completion of programming in solid-state storage media, data that is formatted for storage in solid-state media is maintained in one or more buffers. The system is able to retry failed programming operations directly from the buffers, rather than reprocessing the data. The relevant programming pipeline may therefore be preserved by skipping over a failed write operation and reprocessing the data at the end of the current pipeline processing cycle.
