Abstract
When a program operation to a second memory of user data in a first memory is to be performed and the size of user data is smaller than a unit program size of the second memory, final data having a size equal to the unit program size may be produced by concatenating the user data and meta data, and the final data may then programmed into the second memory. The second memory may be non-volatile memory, and the meta data may be meta data for the second memory. In some cases, dummy data may also be concatenated with the user data and meta data to produce the final data. Accordingly, it is possible to perform the program operation according to the unit program size and improve the program operation efficiency by reducing the number of program operations performed to store meta data.
