Storage array supporting multi-thread access

A storage array system, comprising:

• a storage array comprising a plurality of storage devices each divided into at least N subdivisions such that the storage array comprises a plurality of volumes, wherein a volume comprises a set of subdivisions including a subdivision in each of M different storage devices in the plurality of storage devices;
• a storage array controller comprising:
• memory management circuitry configured to:
• receive first data and second data for storing in the storage array;
• and
• select a first volume for storing the first data;
• and
• select a second volume for storing the second data, wherein the second volume comprises a different set of subdivisions than the first volume;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• use a first set of processor threads to process the first data and store the first data in the first volume;
• and
• concurrent with the processing and storing of the first data, use a second set of processor threads to process the second data and store the second data in the second volume.
