Abstract
A storage system and method are provided for flush optimization. In one embodiment, a storage system is provided comprising a cache, a non-volatile memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to: store, in the cache, data received from a host and to be written in the non-volatile memory; receive a command from the host to move the data stored in the cache into the non-volatile memory; without having executed the command, send a confirmation to the host that the command was executed; and execute the command after sending the continuation to the host.
