Server computers often include one or more input/output (I/O) adapter devices for communicating with a network or directly attached storage device. The data transfer latency for request can be reduced by utilizing ingress data placement logic to bypass the processor of the I/O adapter device. For example, host memory descriptors can be stored in a content addressable memory unit of the I/O adapter device to facilitate placement of requested data.
