Abstract
An SSD device comprises a first port linking up with a first host using a first link, a second port linking up with the first host or a second host using a second link, and a port mode controller controlling the first port and the second port to change an operating mode from a dual port mode, in which the first port and the second port operate independently of each other, to a single port mode, in which only the first port operates. The port mode controller controls the second port to reset the second link in a state where the first link is linked up.
