Abstract
Some data storage devices have a plurality of memory dies that can be read in parallel for certain types of read requests. Read requests pertaining to a garbage collection operation are often generated sequentially and, thus, are not eligible for parallel execution in the memory dies. In an example data storage device presented herein, such read requests are consolidated and sent to the memory for execution in parallel across the memory dies.
