Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for handling host write commands associated with both data aligned with physical page boundaries of parallel write increments in non-volatile storage areas in a non-volatile storage device and data unaligned with the physical page boundaries. The method may include a controller of a storage device identifying the aligned and unaligned portions of received data, temporarily storing the aligned and unaligned portions in different queues, and then writing portions from the unaligned data queue or the aligned data queue in parallel to the non-volatile memory areas when one of the queues has been filled with a threshold amount of data or when the controller detects a timeout condition. The system may include a storage device with a controller configured to perform the method noted above, where the non-volatile memory areas may be separate banks and the queues are random access memory.
