Storage device for managing map data, computing device including storage device for managing map data and memory device, and operating method of computing device

Abstract

A computing device includes a storage device and a memory. The storage device includes nonvolatile and internal buffer memories, and a storage controller that controls the nonvolatile and internal buffer memories and communicates with a bus. The memory includes a buffer memory and a memory controller that controls the buffer memory and communicates with the bus. The nonvolatile memory stores user data and map data. In an initialization operation, the storage controller sends the map data to the memory through the bus, and the memory controller stores the map data that is transferred from the storage device through the bus, in the buffer memory. After the initialization operation, the memory controller sends partial map data of the map data to the storage device through the bus, and the storage controller stores the partial map data that is transferred from the memory through the bus, in the internal buffer memory.
