An electronic device includes an input handling circuit, a control circuit, and a data transfer circuit. The input handling circuits receives a first request including an address from a first memory device, aligns the address with an access unit of a second memory device, requests a determination for the aligned address, and transmits a second request to the second memory device based on a determination result. The control circuit determines, based on the request, whether a duplicate address with the aligned address is present to generate the determination result and updates a bitmask based on the determination result. The data transfer circuit receives the second request from the second memory device and transfers data based on the bitmask. The bitmask includes one or more bits, each corresponding to the first request and indicating a location corresponding to the first request within an access unit of the second memory device.

A storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device and a storage controller. The storage controller includes a multi-protocol host interface circuit that receives a first-type request including a first logical address from an external host and transmits/receives data corresponding to the first-type request with the external host by a block unit. Additionally, the multi-protocol host interface circuit receives a second-type request including a first physical address from the external host and transmits/receives data corresponding to the second-type request with the external host by a unit smaller than the block unit. A mapping cache manager manages an address translation table cache, sends an address translation request including the first physical address to the external host, and receives a response including mapping information corresponding to the first physical address from the external host.
