Abstract
Data transmission from a data storage device (DSD) to a host. Data is received from a volatile memory of the DSD in an ingress buffer of the DSD and the data from the ingress buffer is formatted into formatted data. A size of data buffered in the ingress buffer is compared to a frame ingress size for data to be buffered in the ingress buffer for a frame to be transmitted to the host. It is determined based on the comparison whether to buffer all of the formatted data for the frame in an egress buffer of the DSD before transmission to the host, or to transmit at least a portion of the formatted data for the frame to the host before all of the formatted data for the frame is received in the egress buffer.
