A method of selecting among a plurality of I/O streams through which data is to be written to a multi-streaming flash storage device is presented. According to an example embodiment, the method comprises: assigning write sequences of similar length to the same I/O streams; receiving instructions for a write operation, the instructions including a starting logical block address (LBA) and a number of blocks of data to be written; determining whether the write operation is part of an existing write sequence; identifying an I/O stream associated with an existing write sequence; and providing a stream ID of the identified I/O stream to the multi-streaming flash storage device.
