Storage device capable of performing peer-to-peer data transfer and operating method thereof

Abstract

A storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a storage controller, wherein the storage controller includes a cache memory storing some of data stored in the non-volatile memory, an interface circuit receiving, from a first external host, a first request including a source address related to the external storage device, a destination address related to the storage device, and cache update information indicating an update method of the cache memory, provide a second request including the source address to the external storage device, and receive, from the external storage device in response to the second request, a response including first data corresponding to the source address, an address translation circuit generating a physical address of a first type based on the destination address, and a cache controller updating a cache area indicated by the physical address of the first type based on the cache update information.
