1. A method for transferring data within a nonvolatile memory system, the method comprising: programming first data to a nonvolatile memory (“NVM”) over a first path, wherein the first data is associated with a write request received from a host device, and wherein the first path comprises: storing the first data in a volatile memory buffer; transferring the first data from the volatile memory buffer to a nonvolatile memory buffer; and transferring the first data from the nonvolatile memory buffer to the NVM; and reading second data from the NVM over a second path, wherein the second data is associated with a read request received from the host device and the second path comprises: transferring the second data from the NVM directly to the volatile memory buffer; and transferring the second data from the volatile memory buffer to the host device.
