Zusammenfassung:A system and method for efficient cache buffering are provided. The disclosed method includes receiving a host command from a host, extracting command information from the host command, determining an Input/Output (I/O) action to be taken in connection with the host command, determining that the I/O action spans more than one strip, and based on the I/O action spanning more than one strip, allocating a cache frame anchor for a row on-demand along with a cache frame anchor for a strip to accommodate the I/O action.
