Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to effectively increasing a command queue length for accessing storage, such as by increasing the Queuing Depth (Q-Depth) of Native Command Queuing (NCQ) Commands. In some implementations, a method can comprise receiving a first command to access a first memory location of a storage device; receiving a second command to access a second memory location of a storage device; constructing a consolidated command including a memory address and a data transfer count associated with each of the first command and the second command; constructing an information command having consolidation information about the consolidated command; and communicating the information command and the consolidated command to the storage device for processing by the storage device.
