A storage device is provided which includes a nonvolatile memory and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the storage device. The temperature sensor is configured to output temperature information. The storage device includes a memory controller. The memory controller is configured to access the nonvolatile memory in response to a request of an external host device. The memory controller is configured to obtain the temperature information from the temperature sensor according to a first period in a first mode. The temperature sensor is configured to obtain the temperature information from the temperature sensor according to a second period in a second mode. The second period is shorter than the first period.
