Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system, a memory controller, and an operation method thereof, in which a data storage space of a memory device is divided into N namespaces, and in which each namespace is controlled so as to share a super memory block with other namespaces or to occupy the same exclusively, thereby minimizing an increase in the time taken to format each of a plurality of namespaces while efficiently storing data in a plurality of namespaces.
