There are provided a memory system and an operating method thereof. A memory system includes: a plurality of storage regions, each including a plurality of memory cells; and a controller configured to provide a plurality of read retry sets, determine an applying order of the plurality of read retry sets based on characteristics of a read error occurred in a first storage region among the plurality of storage regions, and apply at least one of the read retry sets, based on the applying order, for a read retry operation performed on the first storage region.

Memory system and operating method thereof

A memory system may include: a memory device comprising a plurality of channels, a plurality of dies coupled to the respective channels, and a plurality of super blocks; and a controller suitable for controlling the memory device, wherein the controller includes: a detector suitable for searching for a first available reserved block in a first die, when a bad block has occurred in the first die which is coupled to a first channel and belongs to a first super block group, and searching for a second available reserved block in a second die which is coupled to the first channel and belongs to a second super block group when the first available reserved block is not present in the first die; and an assignor suitable for replacing the bad block with the second available reserved block when the second available reserved block is present.

A memory system includes: a memory device including: a first memory block storing first map data, which maps a first logical address to a first physical address; and a second memory block storing first user data corresponding to the first map data; and a controller configured to: receive a warning signal from a host; and back up the first map data as second map data in response to the first logical address being provided along with a write command received after the warning signal is received; update the first map data to map the first logical address to a second physical address; suspend an erase operation being performed on the first user data is invalidated due to the write command; and restore the first map data based on the second map data and validate the invalidated first user data when it is determined that the host is infected by malware.

Memory system managing map data based on risk of malware&#x2014;infection of host, and operating method thereof

A memory system may include: a memory device including a plurality of storage regions; and a controller. The controller may be coupled between a host and the memory device, and perform a read retry operation when a read error occurs in any one of the storage regions based on occurrence possibilities for a plurality of different type of defects in any one storage region where a read error occurred.

A controller may include a memory suitable for caching write data and map data corresponding to the write data; and a processor suitable for flushing the cached map data in a memory device, and then storing the write data in the memory device, wherein the map data includes location information of the write data.

Controller for recovering map segments in case of sudden power off and operating method thereof

A memory system may include: a memory device; and a controller suitable for: receiving a plurality of commands from a host; performing command operations corresponding to the commands to the memory device; providing operation results of the command operations to the host; and performing processing results including processing receptions of the commands, requests for performing the command operations and operation results for the command operations at a regular time duration interval.

A data processing system includes a host suitable for providing an access request; and a plurality of memory systems suitable for storing or reading data thereto or therefrom in response to the access request, wherein the host includes a host memory buffer suitable for storing a plurality of meta-data respectively corresponding to the plurality of memory systems, wherein each of the plurality of meta-data includes a first threshold value representing storage capacity for user data in a corresponding memory system among the plurality of memory systems, a second threshold value representing a number of read operations for logical block addresses (LBAs) of the corresponding memory system, a third threshold value representing a temperature of the corresponding memory system and respective LBAs of the plurality of memory systems.

Data processing system including a host distributing data across multiple memory systems and method for the same

An memory system includes a memory device that includes a first memory block and a super memory block including simultaneously controllable second memory blocks and a controller including a memory, and suitable for storing a data corresponding to a command in the memory, deciding a type of the command and a type of the data, and controlling the memory device to write the data in the first memory block or the super memory block based on the type of the command and the type of the data.

Memory system for writing data based on types of command and data and operating method of the same

A memory system including a nonvolatile memory device storing operation logs and map data; a volatile memory for temporarily storing the map data; and a controller flushing the map data from the volatile memory into the nonvolatile memory device by units of map data groups, and rebuilding the map data by selectively reading the map data by the units of map data groups from the nonvolatile memory device into the volatile memory according to the operation logs, wherein the operation logs indicate: locations of first and last pages to store the flushed map data; a start of an error management operation to a program error during the flushing of the map data; and a location of a last page storing normally flushed map data before an occurrence of the program error.

Memory system and operating method for re-building map data according to operation logs

A memory system includes a controller and a plurality of nonvolatile memories; a temperature control unit suitable for measuring a temperature of each of the plurality of nonvolatile memories, and comparing each measured temperature with a predetermined threshold value; a signal generation unit generating busy signals corresponding to one or more of the nonvolatile memories when the measured temperature is higher than the predetermined threshold value; and an interface unit transmitting the busy signal to the controller.
