Abstract
A method enables a storage device to autonomously (i.e., without intervention of a host device) determines whether an integral sequence of commands, which is related to one or more storage commands issued by the host device, is in a certain state (i.e., it is 'active' or 'inactive') or is transitioning from “active” state to “inactive” state, or from “inactive” state to “active” state. Depending on the determined state or transition, the storage device determines whether to refrain from executing Extra-Sequence (“ESQ”) operations and permit executing Intra-Sequence (“ISQ”) operations, or vice versa.
