A RAID data storage device multi-step command coordination system includes a RAID storage controller device that generates and transmits a first multi-step command that includes a barrier instruction, and a second multi-step command that includes a notification instruction. A first RAID data storage device receives the first multi-step command, identifies the barrier instruction in the first multi-step command and, in response, pauses performance of first multi-step command. A second RAID data storage device receives the second multi-step command, identifies the notification instruction in the second multi-step command and, in response, transmits a notification to the first RAID data storage device. While pausing the performance of the first multi-step command, the first RAID data storage device determines that the notification has been received and, in response, resumes the performance of the first multi-step command.
