Abstract
A non-volatile memory may include a plurality of map blocks for storing a plurality of map units, the map units representing mapping information between physical addresses and logical addresses. A storage device may include such a non-volatile memory. A method of mapping such a non-volatile memory may include writing historical information regarding locations of valid map units among the map units included in map blocks previously allocated among the map blocks when a new map block among the map blocks is allocated, the valid map units representing valid mapping information, and constructing a map table including all of the valid mapping information based on the historical information and a result of searching a map block recently allocated among the map blocks.
