Abstract
A method for operating a data storage device which uses a nonvolatile memory device including a buffer memory block which temporarily stores data, as a storage medium, includes receiving an unmap request which requests that an unmap address be erased, from a host device; storing the unmap address and flag information indicating that the unmap address is unmapped, in a first empty page of the buffer memory block; and mapping the unmap address and flagging flag information indicating that the unmap address is unmapped, in a physical-to-logical (P2L) map corresponding to the first empty page of the buffer memory block.
