Abstract
According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a nonvolatile memory including a plurality of blocks, and a controller. The controller receives from the host information indicative of the total number of processes running on the host. The controller executes processing of moving data stored in at least one block of the nonvolatile memory to at least one block of the other blocks of the nonvolatile memory, after determining that the total number of processes exceeds a first threshold value.
