A memory controller for controlling an operation of a memory device includes a request receiving circuit and a data characteristic storage circuit. The request receiving circuit receives from a host a flush request and a logical address corresponding to the flush request, and generates a control signal in response to the received flush request. The data characteristic storage circuit stores a cold data list, and updates the cold data list in response to the control signal from the request receiving circuit.
