A method for transferring data in a memory system including at least first and second memories, includes activating the first memory to conduct a read operation, activating the second memory during the read operation of the first memory, and transferring data which is obtained from the read operation, directly to the second memory from the first memory.

Memory system and data transfer method thereof

A memory system is provided includes a host processor, and a plurality of cascade connected memory cards connected to the host processor. Each of the memory cards stores a same default relative card address (RCA) prior to initialization of the memory system. The host processor is configured to sequentially access each memory card using the default RCA, and to change the default RCA to a unique RCA upon each sequential access.

Memory systems and methods of initializing the same

A universal serial bus (USB) system having a card-type USB interface connector includes a host platform, a storage layer, and an electrical interface. The host platform includes a USB host controller for controlling data transfer, and a first card-type connector at which data is transferred. The storage device includes a non-volatile memory device for storing data, a memory controller for controlling the non-volatile memory device, and a second card-type connector at which data is transferred with the first card-type connector. A plurality of electrical lines interconnecting the first and second connectors are disposed in the electrical interface. A USB control module converts transferred data into USB packets, and converts USB packets into data for transfer. The card-type USB interface connector of the USB system is used as a USB interface connector by means of a card-type plug. Thus, the card-type USB interface connector is readily installed in card-type connector interfaces.

USB system having card-type USB interface connector

A serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) storage device supports an SATA protocol that provides for high data transfer speed. The storage device is for connecting to an SATA cable, and includes at least one non-volatile semiconductor memory device for storing data therein; an SATA adapter, connected to the SATA cable, for transferring/receiving data signals to/from the SATA cable; a memory controller for controlling the non-volatile semiconductor memory device in response to data signals transferred from the SATA adapter; and an SATA device controller, connected between the SATA adapter and the memory controller, for interfacing transmitted/received data signals between the SATA adapter and the memory controller.
