Read latency for a read operation to a host implementing a PRP/SGL buffer is reduced by generating an address table representing the linked-list structure defining the PRP/SGL buffer. The address table may be generated concurrently with reading of data referenced by the read command from a NAND storage device. A block table for tracking status of LBAs referenced by IO commands may include a reference to the address table which is used to transfer LBAs to host memory as soon as the address table is complete and a block of data referenced by an LBA has been read from the NAND storage device.
