Systems and methods are disclosed to abort a command at a data storage controller, in accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a data storage controller configured to receive an abort indicator from a host device, generate an abort tracking indicator at a receiving unit configured to receive commands from the host device, monitor to determine when the selected command is received at the receiving unit based on the abort tracking indicator, and abort the selected command when the selected command is received at the receiving unit. In some embodiments, the data storage controller may generate an abort tracking indicator at a completion unit configured to notify the host device of completed commands, and monitor for the selected command at the completion unit based on the abort tracking indicator.
