A method of operating a storage device that includes a nonvolatile memory device and a controller that controls an operation of the nonvolatile memory device includes issuing, by the controller, a first command to the nonvolatile memory device, reading, by the nonvolatile memory device, first data from a memory cell array into a page buffer of the nonvolatile memory device, in response to the first command, issuing, by the controller, a second command to the nonvolatile memory device, and outputting, by the nonvolatile memory device to the controller, in response to the second command, status information indicating whether a read operation according to the first command has been completed and second data obtained from the page buffer of the nonvolatile memory device.

Storage device and operating method thereof that outputs status information and read data together

A computing device includes a main memory, a processor, and a cache. The main memory stores data and parity, for checking an error of the data, and sends and receives the data and parity with a reference size. The processor accesses the main memory, and the cache memory caches the data. If the processor requests a write operation for current data, the current data are stored to the cache memory and the cache memory changes the stored current data to the reference size and outputs the current data changed to the reference size to the main memory. A size of the current data is smaller than the reference size.
