A first type of request, original data and a first request information associated with the original data are received, in the storage controller, from an external host device, a compression operation to compress the original data to generate compressed data is performed in the storage controller, in response to the first type of request, and a write operation to write the compressed data in a data storage area of the nonvolatile storage is performed in the storage controller. The data storage area of the nonvolatile storage may store the first request information associated with the original data. The external host may manage mapping information in the form of a mapping table associated with compression/decompression at the storage device.
