Automated cache manager for storage devices
 An embodiment of an automated cache manager includes a word/block converter, which generates a word count from a valid cache block register, a current block register, and a total block transfer register. For example, the word/block converter obtains the number of valid cache blocks and calculates a partial transfer length based on the number of valid cache blocks, the total block transfer length, and the maximum partial transfer length. The automated cache manager then initiates a partial transfer with the calculated partial transfer length.
