Abstract
A read command is received from a host requesting data from a portion of a first memory of a data storage system and it is determined whether one or more sections of the first memory including the portion have previously been written to by the host. If it is determined that the one or more sections have not previously been written to by the host, predetermined data is sent to the host in response to the read command without reading the portion of the first memory. According to another aspect, the requested data from the read command is cached in a second memory of the data storage system based on whether the one or more sections of the first memory have previously been written to by the host.
