Abstract
A controller of a data storage device manages access to sequential streams based on predicted commands from a host device. When a command is received, the controller analyzes command characteristics associated with the command. The controller also analyzes command characteristics associated with each predicted command. The controller compares the command characteristics to determine whether any of the predicted commands are sequential to the received command. If the controller determines that one or more of the predicted commands are sequential to the received command, the controller enables data associated with the received command to be written to a sequential stream. The controller also updates a stream counter associated with the sequential stream. The stream counter is used to determine which sequential stream will be closed and subsequently opened when a new set of sequential commands is received or identified.
