1. A data storage system comprising:

  • a non-volatile memory having a plurality of data latches and a non-volatile memory array;

    a volatile memory with a data buffer; and

    a controller having, or cooperatively coupled with, the volatile memory and in communication with the non-volatile memory, wherein the controller is configured to;

    request, from a host in communication with the data storage system, first data associated with a pending host command;

    write to the data buffer in the volatile memory the first data received from the host;

    copy the first data from the data buffer to the plurality of data latches;

    request additional data from the host; and

    write the additional data to the data buffer prior to verifying that the first data was successfully written from the plurality of latches to the non-volatile memory array, wherein writing the additional data overwrites at least some of the first data in the data buffer and wherein the verifying lags behind the overwriting.
