Abstract

See full text

An apparatus includes a memory storing a group of pages of data. An interface of the apparatus is configured to send, to a data storage device (DSD) from a first command queue, a first instruction of instructions to store the group of pages to the DSD using a logical address corresponding to the group of pages. The interface is further configured to send, to the DSD from a second command queue, a second instruction of the instructions to write the group of pages to the DSD using the logical address. Sending a first copy of the group of pages in association with the first instruction and sending a second copy of the group of pages in association with the second instruction enables a multi-stage programming operation to be performed at the DSD without storing the group of pages at the DSD between stages of the multi-stage programming operation.
