Multi-plane pre-read for sequential read performance

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for supporting improved sequential read performance using plane pre-read are described. A memory system may include a buffer configured to store data read from planes of a memory device. A host system may issue a read command for first data stored sequentially at a set of memory devices, and a controller may perform multi-plane read operations in response to the read command. For a last multi-plane read operation, data read from a first subset of planes from the memory device may be output to the host device, while data read from a second subset of planes from the memory device may be stored at the buffer. The host device may issue another read command for second data, and the controller may output the data stored at the buffer in response to the read command, without performing another read operation on the memory device.
