Original Abstract Submitted
a method performed by a storage device for reducing latency of read operations performed on the storage device, includes: transmitting host memory buffer (hmb) destination information to a host device. the hmb destination information relates to a read destination space reserved within a hmb of the host device. the method also includes receiving a read request from the host device for performing at least one data read operation on a memory of the storage device. the read request specifies data to be read from the memory of the storage device. the method further includes: performing the at least one data read operation on the memory for reading the data specified in the read request and transmitting the data read from the memory to the read destination space reserved within the hmb of the host device.
