A memory system includes a storage device including a turbo write buffer and a user storage area implemented with a nonvolatile memory, and a host configured to transfer a read request to the storage device. In response to the read request, the storage device transfers read data and read data information including attributes of the read data to the host.

Storage device, memory system comprising the same, and operation method thereof

A storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device that includes a first region including memory cells configured to store n-bit data and a second region including memory cells configured to store m-bit data and a memory controller, where n and m are natural numbers and n is less than m. The first region includes a first area and a second area, and the second region includes a third area. The memory controller is configured to perform one of a turbo write operation on the first area or the second area and a normal write operation on the third area, and configured to perform one of a turbo read operation on the first area or the second area and a normal read operation on the third area.

Memory device including plurality of buffer areas for supporting fast write and fast read and storage device including the same

A memory system includes a storage device including a nonvolatile memory device and a storage controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory device, and a host that accesses the storage device. The storage device transfers map data, in which a physical address of the nonvolatile memory device and a logical address provided from the host are mapped, to the host depending on a request of the host. The host stores and manages the transferred map data as map cache data. The map cache data are managed depending on a priority that is determined based on a corresponding area of the nonvolatile memory device.

Storage device, memory system, and operating method for managing host-resident L2P map cache

A storage system includes a host device and a storage device. The host device generates a write command, a logical address of write data corresponding to the write command, and a selective purge tag indicating that the write data are targeted for selective purge. The storage device receives the write command, the logical address, and the selective purge tag, stores write data, and logically erases the stored write data upon receiving an erase command from the host device. In addition, the storage device physically erases the stored write data upon receiving a selective purge request from the host device.

Storage system including host device and storage device configured to perform selective purge operation

A storage system shares a system memory of a host. An operation method of the storage system may include receiving a command including information about a shared memory from the host, receiving a stream command having no timeout from the host, and transmitting a first packet associated with the stream command to the host in response to the received stream command. The first packet includes information for accessing the shared memory.

Operation method of storage system and host

A storage device is provided. The storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device including memory blocks, and a controller configured to perform write, read and erase operations with respect to a selected memory block from among the memory blocks. If the number of error bits is greater than a critical value in a read operation with respect to the selected memory block, the controller is configured to perform a read reclaim of migrating valid data stored in the selected memory block to another memory block through at least two migration operations. In the read reclaim, the controller is configured to adjust an amount of data migrated in one migration operation.

Storage device including nonvolatile memory device

An operating method of a storage device that includes a nonvolatile memory device and a controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory device includes sending map data from the storage device to a host device, the map data mapping one or more of a plurality of physical addresses of the nonvolatile memory device to one or more of a plurality of logical addresses of the host device; receiving, at the storage device, a read request from the host device; if the read request includes a physical address, reading data from the nonvolatile memory device based on the included physical address; and if the read request does not include a physical address, translating a logical address of the read request into a first physical address, and reading data from the nonvolatile memory device based on the translated first physical address.

Storage device including nonvolatile memory device and controller, operating method of storage device, and method for accessing storage device

A storage device including a nonvolatile memory device is provided. The storage device may include: a nonvolatile memory device; and a controller configured to control a read operation of the nonvolatile memory device according to a read request from an external host device. The controller is configured to read map data including a segment, and to store different types of map data in an internal random access memory (RAM) based on determining whether the segment corresponds to sequential data.

An operating method of a nonvolatile memory system including first and second areas is provided. Data stored in the first area is migrated to the second area when a first booting operation is performed. The data stored in the second area is reprogrammed. The first booting operation is a booting operation performed when the nonvolatile memory system is first powered on after mounted on a printed circuit board. The reprogramming is a program operation performed on the data stored in the second area without performing an erasing operation on the data stored in the second area.
