1. A method comprising:
connecting a host to a device and a dedication module using a plurality of parallel interconnections;
identifying a manufacturing origin of the device with the dedication module;
dedicating a selected interconnection from the plurality of parallel interconnections for transfers associated with a first type of host-generated data access requests with the device, the first type of host-generated data access requests chosen by the dedication module in response to an operating capability correlated to the device by the dedication module based on the identified manufacturing origin;
using the selected interconnection to sequentially process a plurality of the first type of host-generated data access requests by the device; and
concurrently using at least one other interconnection from the plurality of parallel interconnections to sequentially process a plurality of a different, second type of host-generated data access requests with the device.
