Apparatus, and a related method for its operation, for generating multiple parallel streams of data from a large solid-state mass storage device, under the individual control of multiple users requesting the data streams. The apparatus includes a hardware interface table containing a user command and current memory address for each active user requesting data from storage. Memory array addressing logic cycles through the hardware interface table and generates multiple streams of memory array addresses based on the user commands and the current memory addresses, but without using a processor to generate the addresses. The address streams are directed to a memory array, from which are output multiple streams of corresponding data. User commands for selective control of each data stream are converted to new memory addresses, which are stored in the hardware interface table and almost instantly result in performance of requested control functions with respect to the data streams.
