Abstract

A flash storage system includes a data buffer configured to receive and store a data block having data portions. The system further includes flash storage devices having storage blocks interleaved among the flash storage devices and a controller coupled to the data buffer and the flash storage devices. The controller is configured to initiate data transfers for writing the data portions of the data block asynchronously into the storage blocks, where the data transfers for writing the data portions of the data block asynchronously into the storage blocks include reading the data portions of the data block from the data buffer serially and writing the data portions of the data block into the storage blocks in parallel.
