1. A storage drive system, comprising:
- an interface configured to i) receive frames from a host and ii) process the frames; and
a channel configured to i) receive the frames from the interface and ii) transfer the frames from the interface to a buffer memory, the channel includinga first register configured to store bit values corresponding to frame the processing of the frames, anda first module configured to i) detect frame types of the frames, and ii) in response to detecting a frame having a first frame type, stop receiving frames having a second frame type while selectively continuing to receive frames having a third frame type based on the bit values.

Abstract
A storage drive system including an interface and a channel. The interface is configured to i) receive frames from a host and ii) process the frames. The channel is configured to i) receive the frames from the interface and ii) transfer the frames from the interface to a buffer memory. The channel includes a first register configured to store bit values corresponding to frame processing, and includes a first module configured to i) detect frame types of the frames and ii) in response to detecting a first frame type, stop receiving a second frame type while selectively continuing to receive a third frame type based on the bit values.

9. A method for operating storage drive system, the method comprising:
-
receiving and processing frames from a host using an interface; and using channel logic, receiving the frames from the interface, transferring the frames from the interface to a buffer memory, storing bit values corresponding to the processing of the frames, detecting frame types of the frames, and in response to detecting a frame of a first frame type, stopping receiving frames of a second frame type while selectively continuing to receive frames of a third frame type based on the bit values. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
