Abstract
A data storage device and method for host buffer management are provided. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a read command from a host; read data from the non-volatile memory; identify a location in a host memory buffer (HMB) in the host that is available to store the data; write the data to the location in the HMB; and inform the host of the location in the HMB that stores the data. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
