Abstract
According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller is configured to control data write to the nonvolatile memory and data read from the nonvolatile memory based on a command from a host. The controller includes at least one processor. The nonvolatile memory stores first firmware for normal operation and second firmware for recovery. The first firmware is firmware to cause the at least one processor to control the data write and the data read based on the command. The second firmware is firmware to cause the at least one processor to recover the first firmware. The second firmware is stored in the nonvolatile memory with higher reliability than the first firmware.
