A method includes identifying, by a processing entity of a computing device, data units to read from non-volatile memory and to write into ordered buffers of volatile memory. The method further includes generating, by the processing entity, read operations regarding the data units, wherein the number of read operations equals “n”. The method further includes tagging, by the processing entity, each read operation of the read operations with a unique ordered tag value. The method further includes receiving, by the processing entity, read responses to the read operations from the non-volatile memory. The method further includes writing, by the processing entity, data units contained in the read responses into the ordered buffers in accordance with the ordered tag values. The method further includes tracking, by the processing entity, consumption of the data units from the ordered buffers.
