Abstract

A memory system includes a memory device; a short super block detecting unit suitable for forming, when one or more initial bad blocks remain in an original super block after a re-mapping operation is performed and a number of the initial bad blocks is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value within the original super block, a short super block with memory blocks included in the original super block; a bitmap generating unit suitable for generating a bitmap representing whether each of the memory blocks included in the short super block is a normal block or an initial bad block; and a processor suitable for controlling the memory device to simultaneously perform a normal operation on normal blocks among the memory blocks included in the short super block based on the bitmap.
