Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing storage devices includes a host interface, a plurality of storage device interfaces, and a processor. The host interface is configured to communicatively couple with a host device and the plurality of storage interfaces configured to communicatively couple with storage devices. The processor is communicatively coupled to the host interface and the plurality of storage device interfaces. Further, the processor is configured to receive requests from the host device via the host interface and communicate the requests to the storage devices via the plurality of storage device interfaces. The processor is additionally configured to receive responses from the storage devices via the plurality of storage interfaces and communicate the responses to the host device via the host interface, manage a global submission queue and a global completion queue, and manage a submission queue and a completion queue for each of the storage devices.
