A method and system for increasing read and write performance of flash-based storage systems, by using RAM buffers with multiple accesses. The increase of read and write performance of flash-based storage system is achieved by performing “from RAM” and “to RAM” transfer operations simultaneously. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the invention provides a system for enabling simultaneous data transfer from a host interface to flash media and from flash media to a host interface. It also provides for a system for synchronizing memory-to-host and flash-to-memory transfers, during the host read operation. There is further provided a system of synchronizing host-to-memory and memory-to-flash transfers, during the host write operation.
