    Abstract: In a method of operating a storage device including a plurality of nonvolatile memories, reliability information of the storage device is predicted. A read operation on the storage device is performed based on a result of predicting the reliability information. In the predicting the reliability information of the storage device, a model request signal is outputted by selecting one of a plurality of machine learning models as an optimal machine learning model based on deterioration characteristic information and deterioration phase information. The model request signal corresponds to the optimal machine learning model. The plurality of machine learning models are used to generate first reliability information related to the plurality of nonvolatile memories. First parameters of the optimal machine learning model may be received based on the model request signal. The first reliability information is generated based on the deterioration characteristic information and the first parameters.

    Abstract: Provided are a storage device, a storage controller, and an operating method of the storage controller. The storage device according to the inventive concept includes a non-volatile memory and a storage controller. The non-volatile memory includes a plurality of memory blocks, each memory block includes physical units having different retention strengths due to process variations, and the retention strengths respectively correspond to times that physical units retain data before respective reclaim operations for the physical units. The storage controller receives a write request and data from a host, selects a first physical unit based on hotness of data and retention strengths, and controls the non-volatile memory to write data to the first physical unit.
