Method and system for sending data from a memory of a computing system interfacing with a device is provided. An input/output control block (IOCB) from the computing system for transferring the data from the memory of the computing system is received by the device. The device then allocates a plurality of DMA channels to the IOCB for transferring the data from the memory of the computing system when a number of pending input/output (I/O) requests when the IOCB is received is less than a number of available direct memory access (DMA) channels to receive the data from the memory of the computing system.
