1. A method for memory access to a non-volatile memory (“

  • NVM”

    ) solid state drive (“

    SSD”

    ) via a memory controller snooping, comprising;

    generating a first submission queue entry (“

    SQE”

    ) for a first SSD memory access by a host to a connected SSD;

    pushing the first SQE from the host to a submission queue (“

    SQ”

    ) viewable by a controller of the SSD;

    incrementing counter value of an SQ header pointer to reflect storage of the first SQE in the SQ;

    detecting the first SQE in the SQ by a snooping component in the memory controller in accordance with the SQ header pointer; and

    fetching the first SQE from the snooping component in the controller and executing one or more SSD memory instructions in response to content of the first SQE.
