• wherein the controller is configured to:
• retrieve a first command from a host memory;
• store a first identifier of the first command in the set-aside buffer;
• retrieve a second command from the host memory;
• and
• initiate processing of the first command and the second command based on a second identifier of the second command corresponding to the first identifier.
