A method of writing multi-stream host data to a storage device comprising a CPU, a multi-stream fast release buffer (FRB), and a non-volatile memory (NVM), includes: receiving a command to write the multi-stream host data to the NVM, the multi-stream host data being associated with a logical block number (LBN) and a new stream ID, recording a status of the active stream ID and retrieving a status of the new stream ID to determine a physical address in the NVM for storing one or more codewords (CWs) corresponding to the multi-stream host data, allocating space in a buffer of the FRB for storage of the multi-stream host data, organizing the multi-stream host data into the one or more CWs, and storing the one or more CWs into the allocated space in the buffer, transferring the one or more CWs from the buffer to the physical address in the NVM.
