Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus comprises: a data storage device comprising a first prefetch buffer, a second prefetch buffer, and a third prefetch buffer; wherein the second prefetch buffer and the third prefetch buffer are both coupled in parallel to the first prefetch buffer; and wherein any of the prefetch buffers is configured to store prefetch data. The prefetch data is available to a host that sends a memory read transaction request to the data storage device. In another embodiment of the invention, a method comprises: storing prefetch data in any one of a first prefetch buffer, a second prefetch buffer, or a third prefetch buffer in a storage device; wherein the second prefetch buffer and the third prefetch buffer are both coupled in parallel to the first prefetch buffer. The prefetch data is available to a host that sends a memory read transaction request to a data storage device.
