Performance improvement for attached multi-storage devices

A method of providing data packets via a communication interface of a data storage device coupled to a host, the method comprising:

• configuring a first host-addressable logical unit of the data storage device, the first host-addressable logical unit comprising:
• a first data storage;
• first host-addressable endpoints associated with the first data storage;
• and
• a first bus interface coupled between the first data storage and the first host-addressable endpoints;
• configuring a second host-addressable logical unit of the data storage device, the second host-addressable logical unit comprising:
• a second data storage;
• second host-addressable endpoints, the second host-addressable endpoints being associated with the second data storage and being separate and distinct from the first host-addressable endpoints;
• and
• a second bus interface coupled between the second data storage and the second host-addressable endpoints;
• and
• processing a first data access command received from the host and providing a first stream of first data packets read from the first data storage to the communication interface;
• and
• processing a second data access command received from the host and providing a second stream of second data packets read from the second data storage to the communication interface;
• combining the provided first and second streams of first and second data packets to generate a combined stream of first and second data packets;
• and
• providing the combined stream of first and second data packets to the host via the communication interface, the communication interface being configured to enable the host to simultaneously and independently access the first and second host-addressable units at a combined data rate that is greater than a data rate of the first stream or the second stream.
