In one embodiment, the method includes buffering, under control of a memory controller, received data and an associated program entity in a buffer. The program entity includes first address information and second address information, the first address information indicates an address of the buffer storing the received data, and the second address information indicates an address in the memory to store the received data. The method further includes storing, at the memory controller, management information. The management information includes program information, and the program information includes a pointer to the program entity in the buffer. The method also includes transferring the received data from the buffer to the memory based on the management information and the program entity.

Method of operating a memory system, the memory system, and a memory controller

A method of operating a memory system includes storing data received from an external device in a buffer memory of the memory system, programming the data stored in the buffer memory to a first storage area of a nonvolatile memory of the memory system in response to a mode of the memory system being in a guarantee mode and to a second storage area of the nonvolatile memory in response to the mode of the memory system being in other than the guarantee mode, and programming the data stored in the first storage area to the second storage area during an idle time.

Memory system responsive to flush command to store data in fast memory and method of operating memory system

Disclosed is a memory system that includes a nonvolatile memory having a main region and a cache region; and a memory controller having migration manager managing a migration operation that moves data from cache region to the main region by referencing a Most Recently Used/Least Recently Used (MRU/LRU) list.
