Summary:Methods, systems, and devices for write buffer extensions for storage interface controllers are described. Apparatuses and methods are presented in which a buffer may be used to temporarily store data from an application if the memory device is in an INACTIVE power mode. This may allow the memory device to remain asleep. The buffer may be positioned on the host device so that the power mode of the memory device may not affect it. That way, data may be stored in the buffer without waking up the memory device. If the memory device is in an ACTIVE power mode, the data that has been temporarily stored in the buffer may be sent to the memory device for storage. During read operations, if the requested data is stored in the buffer, it may be used instead of data in the memory device.
