A storage device includes: a nonvolatile memory including power loss protector (PLP) memory blocks configured to store at least one of meta data or user data for data backup; a buffer memory configured to store at least one of the meta data or the user data stored in the PLP memory blocks; a charging circuit configured to generate electric power for data backup in response to a sudden power off (SPO) occurrence, and transmit a first charging complete signal or a second charging complete signal to a processor according to a level of the electric power, and; and the processor configured to control at least one of the nonvolatile memory and the buffer memory to execute a first request from a host related to the meta data with priority in response to the first charging complete signal, and execute a second request from the host related to the meta data or the user data in response to the second charging complete signal.

Storage device and operating method thereof

A refrigerator storage system is described. The refrigerator storage system comprises a display having a home screen and a processor coupled to the display. The processor is configured to display at least one widget that provides an operation on the display, wherein the at least one widget comprises an interface portion providing direct access to a feature of the widget, wherein the direct access to the feature of the widget is provided from the home screen.

Refrigerator storage system having a display

One embodiment of a method includes loading, by a memory controller, a boot image from a solid state drive to an operating memory of a computing system during an initialization operation of the computing system. The initialization operation initializes components of the computing system.

Method of managing a solid state drive, associated systems and implementations

A solid state drive may include one or more memory cell arrays divided into a plurality of blocks. A first portion of the blocks may be designated for storing user data and a second portion of the blocks may be designated as reserved blocks for replacing defective blocks in the first portion. In one embodiment, the method includes reformatting, by a memory controller, the solid state drive to convert one or more blocks in the first portion into reserved blocks.
