Abstract
A system including a controller and a bridge module. The controller is configured to (i) communicate with a host via a first interface, and (ii) communicate with a storage device via a second interface. The second interface is separate from the first interface. The bridge module is configured to allow the controller to transfer data between the storage device and the host without buffering the data, and to access a memory of the host via the first interface during the transfer.
