A key-value storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. The key-value storage device is configured to communicate with a host and includes a controller and a non-volatile memory. The controller is configured to receive, from the host, a first command including a key, a first chunk among multiple chunks included in a value corresponding to the key, and a first chunk index corresponding to the first chunk. The controller is configured to store mapping information of the first chunk in a mapping table based on the key and the first chunk index. The non-volatile memory is configured to store the key and the first chunk based on the mapping information.

Key-value storage device and method of operating the same

A storage system performing data deduplication includes a storage device configured to store data received from a host, and a controller configured to receive the data and an index associated with the data received from the host. The controller includes a memory configured to store mapping information and a reference count, the mapping information associating the index received from the host with a physical address of the storage system, the reference count associated with the index received from the host. The controller determines whether the data received from the host corresponds to a duplicate of data previously stored in the storage device by reading, from the memory, the mapping information and the reference count, the reading based on the index received from the host. The controller performs a deduplication process by updating the reference count if the data received from the host corresponds to the duplicate of data previously stored.

Storage system performing data deduplication, method of operating storage system, and method of operating data processing system

A method of operating a key-value storage device includes a key-value storage device receiving from a host a first command including a first key, a first value, and a first snapshot identification (ID), the key-value storage device generating a first snapshot entry including the first snapshot ID, the first key, and a first physical address in a non-volatile memory device at which the first value is written, in response to the received first command, receiving from the host a second command including the first key, a second value, and a second snapshot ID, and in response to the received second command, the key-value storage device generating a second snapshot entry including the second snapshot ID, the first key, and a second physical address in the non-volatile memory device at which the second value is written.
