Abstract: A method of operating a storage device with a memory includes partitioning an entire area of a first namespace into at least one area based on a reference size. The partitioning is performed in response to a namespace creating request from a host that includes size information corresponding to the entire area of the first namespace. The method further includes partitioning a logical address space of the memory into a plurality of segments, allocating a first segment of the plurality of segments to a first area of the at least one area, and storing mapping information of the first area and the first segment. A size of the logical address space is greater than a size of a physical storage space of the memory identified by the host.

Abstract: An electronic system includes: a host; and a storage device configured to exchange data with the host using an interface protocol. The host provides a fault insertion command, including a fault type, a target location, and a fault condition, to the storage device, based on the interface protocol. The storage device performs a fault detection operation, selected based on the fault type among an assert code execution operation, a memory polling operation, an interrupt polling operation, and a latency detection operation, on the target location in response to the fault insertion command, and stores a snapshot of the storage device when the fault condition is detected as a result of performing the fault detection operation. The host obtains the stored snapshot using the interface protocol, and debugs the storage device using the obtained snapshot.

Abstract: An operation method of a storage device, which is connected to a host through an interface sharing a memory buffer of the host, includes receiving an access command from the host, anticipating data that is expected to be requested by the host with reference to the access command, reading out the anticipated data from a nonvolatile memory device and loading the read data to a first area of the memory buffer, and in a case of being requested to load the anticipated data into a second area of the memory buffer by the host, moving the anticipated data from the first area to the second area.

Abstract: A method of operating a storage controller which communicates with a host device and a non-volatile memory device is provided. The method includes: receiving a first command from the host device indicating a read operation of first status information of a first zone random write area (ZRWA) in a first zone region, wherein the first command complies with a zoned namespace (ZNS) standard; obtaining the first status information from a zone status table in the storage controller based on the first command, wherein the first status information indicates at least a portion of a first physical region of the non-volatile memory device corresponding to the first ZRWA in which first data are stored; and providing the first status information to the host device.

Abstract: A device controller of a storage device including a non-volatile memory peeks a command from a submission queue, and determines whether the peeked command is executable based on a status of device resources. In response to determining that the command is executable, the device controller fetches the command, allocates the device resources to the fetched command, and executes the command.
