Abstract
A memory system includes a storage medium having a plurality of memory regions. A controller is configured to allocate each of a plurality of open memory regions among the memory regions to one or more levels and store, in response to a write request received from a host device that includes data and a level of the data, the data in an open memory region allocated to the level. A level may be a level of a file in a predetermined unit in which the data is included, such as in a log-structured merge (LSM) tree structure.
