Abstract

Methods and systems associated with re-transferring data that was unsuccessfully transmitted to a host are described. According to one embodiment a method includes transferring data from a buffer to a host; receiving an unsuccessful status from the host indicating a transmission error; identifying a block of data being transferred when the transmission error occurred; and re-transferring data in the identified block from the buffer to the host without re-transferring successfully transferred blocks.
