A storage device includes at least one nonvolatile memory device, a memory controller that controls the at least one nonvolatile memory device, and a fingerprint recognition sensor that recognizes a fingerprint of a user. The at least one nonvolatile memory device includes at least one secure partition area being accessible by a host device when a fingerprint recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor is the same as an enrolled fingerprint, and a public area being accessible by the host device regardless of a fingerprint recognition operation.
