Abstract
Certain embodiments of a method and apparatus for high throughput mass storage device interface in a microprocessor for handheld systems may comprise interleaving accesses to a plurality of mass storage devices communicatively coupled to a portable media processing device. Interleaved transfer may occur of data corresponding to the interleaved accesses to the plurality of mass storage devices communicatively coupled to the portable media processing device. At least a portion of the plurality of mass storage devices may be communicatively coupled internally to the portable media processing device. A remaining portion of the plurality of mass storage devices may be communicatively coupled externally to the portable media processing device.
