Memory controller for controlling communication with host and method of operating the same

Abstract

The present technology relates to an electronic device. According to the present technology, a memory controller may include a garbage collection controller and a sustain detector. The garbage collection controller may generate garbage collection information including valid page count values of victim memory blocks on which garbage collection is to be performed among a plurality of memory blocks included in a memory device. The sustain detector in communication with the garbage collection controller may generate sustain information indicating whether random write performance for the memory device is in a sustain state in which a random write performance value related to a capability of the random write performance is greater than or equal to a threshold value based on the garbage collection information.
