Abstract: A data storage method and a network interface card, where in this solution, buffered unsolicited data is written, in a direct memory access (DMA) manner, into storage space that corresponds to a destination address corresponding to the unsolicited data, and a rate of writing data in the DMA manner is higher than a rate of writing data in a copying manner. Therefore, time required in a data storage process is shortened and a storage efficiency is improved. In addition, because a write operation is performed by hardware of the network interface card, consumption of central processing unit (CPU) resources is reduced, which further reduces impact on processing rates of other application programs.
