Abstract
A storage device includes a storage controller and a non-volatile memory including a first memory region including first memory cells having a first data retention time and a second memory region including second memory cells having a second data retention time that is shorter than the first data retention time. Based on an erase request being received from a host in a first operation mode, the storage controller determines whether to switch from the first operation mode to a second operation mode. The storage controller programs program data in a memory region selected from the first memory region and the second memory region in the first operation mode, and the storage controller programs the program data in only the first memory region in the second operation mode.
