System and method for storing data

A method of communicating with multiple memory devices, the method comprising:

• during a first time segment, sending command data to a first input of a first memory device while sending the command data to a second input of a second memory device;
• during a second time segment, sending address data to the first input of the first memory device while sending the address data to the second input of the second memory device;
• and
• during a third time segment, sending a first data item to be stored at an address designated by the address data to the first input of the first memory device while sending a second data item to be stored at the address designated by the address data to the second input of the second memory device.

A computer implemented method of storing a data word, the method comprising:

• receiving the data word from a data bus at a memory controller;
• storing a first portion of the data word at an address in a first non-volatile memory device;
• and
• storing a second portion of the data word at the address in a second non-volatile memory device concurrently with storing the first portion of the data word.

A system comprising:

• a controller coupled to a memory bus, the memory bus configured to communicate data having a first word size;
• a first non-volatile memory device accessible to the controller and configured to store data having a second word size;
• a second non-volatile memory device accessible to the controller and configured to store data having a third word size;
• wherein the first word size is greater than the second word size and greater than the third word size;
• and
• wherein, for a word of data having the first word size, the controller is configured to initiate simultaneous storage of a first portion of the word of data in the first non-volatile memory device and of a second portion of the word of data in the second non-volatile memory device.
