Payload spill boundary table assisted read in solid state drives

A method performed by a controller of a solid state drive, the method comprising:

• receiving from a host a read request for read data stored in one or more of a plurality of nonvolatile semiconductor storage devices of the solid state drive;
• identifying a first codeword and a second codeword from a plurality of codewords stored in the one or more of the plurality of nonvolatile storage devices, the first codeword and the second codeword comprising the read data corresponding to the read request;
• responsive to the read request, reading a first portion of the read data contained in the first codeword and reading a second portion of the read data contained in the second codeword;
• assembling the first portion and the second portion as assembled read data;
• and
• transferring the assembled read data to the host responsive to the read request,
• wherein
• the second codeword is adjacent to the first codeword as stored in the one or more of the plurality of nonvolatile storage devices, and
• the assembled read data has a data length that is greater than a first data length of the first codeword or a second data length of the second codeword.
