A memory system includes a memory device including at least one storage region; and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller separates write data input from an external device from metadata associated with data stored in the memory device. Based on an operation state of the at least one storage region, the controller stores the write data into a buffer storing data to be transferred to the at least one storage region in the memory device. The controller stores the metadata into the buffer regardless of the operation state of the at least one storage region. The controller transfers the write data or the metadata stored in the buffer to the memory device for storing the write data or the metadata in the memory device.

Apparatus and method for improving data input/output performance of storage

A memory system with at least one namespace includes a memory device and a controller. The memory device includes a plurality of single-level cell (SLC) buffers and a plurality of memory blocks, wherein each memory block includes a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell storing multi-bit data, and is allocated for a respective one of a plurality of zones, wherein each of the at least one namespace is divided by at least some of the plurality of zones. The controller is configured to receive a program request related to at least one application program executed by a host, to determine at least one zone designated by the at least one application program as an open state, and to control the memory device to perform a program operation on at least one memory block allocated for an open state zone.

Memory system with a zoned namespace and an operating method thereof

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system and an operating method of the memory system. In one aspect, a memory system is provided to comprise a memory device including a plurality of memory dies, each memory die including a plurality of memory blocks for storing data and different groups of memory blocks form one or more super blocks; and a memory controller in communication with the memory device and configured to count the number of super blocks in an erase state included in each memory die to identify a first memory die having the smallest number of super blocks in the erase state and a second memory die having the largest number of super blocks in the erase state, and move data stored in a first super block included in the first memory die to a second super block included in the second memory die.

Memory system and operating method of memory system

A storage device may include a storage comprising a plurality of dies each having a plurality of memory blocks, and configured to provide a default ZNS (Zoned NameSpace) size to a host device; and a controller configured to generate a ZNS by selecting one or more memory blocks corresponding to a required ZNS size from the plurality of dies to allocate the selected memory blocks to the ZNS in response to a ZNS generation request signal which includes the required ZNS size and is provided from the host device.

Storage device capable of adjusting size of zoned namespace and operating method thereof

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory set including a nonvolatile memory; and a memory controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory set. The memory controller may write data to a memory block in a target memory block pool in the nonvolatile memory set during a target time period existing between a time at which an operation mode for the nonvolatile memory set is changed from a second operation mode to a first operation mode and a time at which a command including information indicating that a host expects a requested operation to be performed in the first operation mode is received from the host, prevent execution of a background operation for the nonvolatile memory set, when the operation mode is the first operation mode, and control a background operation for the nonvolatile memory set to be executable, when the operation mode is the second operation mode.

Memory system, memory controller and method for operating memory controller

A memory system includes: a plurality of memory devices; a plurality of cores suitable for controlling the plurality of memory devices, respectively; and a controller including: a host interface layer for providing any one of the cores with a request of a host based on mapping between logical addresses and the cores, a remap manager for changing the mapping between the logical addresses and the cores in response to a trigger, a data swapper for swapping data between the plurality of memory devices based on the changed mapping, and a state manager for determining a state of the memory system depending on whether the data swapper is swapping the data or has completed swapping the data, and providing the remap manager with the trigger based on the state of the memory system and a difference in a degree of wear between the plurality of memory devices.

Controller, operating method of the controller and memory system

A single point detecting current sensor includes a plurality of magnetic sensor modules, wherein a magnetic sensor module is installed onto each busbars with an insulation displacement contact or is installed adjacent to each busbar, and outputs the current through a busbars measured by a magnetic sensor; a signal collection module collecting measured signals output by the plurality of magnetic sensor modules; and a signal interference compensation module deriving a corrected current value for which interference has been removed, by calculating the mutual interference between said busbars using the signals collected by said signal collection module.
