Abstract: A method of estimating a deterioration state of a memory device comprises reading data from selected memory cells connected to a selected wordline of a memory cell array by applying to the selected wordline a plurality of distinct read voltages having values corresponding to at least one valley of threshold voltage distributions of the selected memory cells, generating quality estimation information indicating states of the threshold voltage distributions using the data read from the selected memory cells, and determining a deterioration state of a storage area including the selected memory cells based on the generated quality estimation information.

Abstract: A method of controlling a first memory controller that controls a non-volatile memory device includes: the first memory controller receiving first data and a first physical address from a second memory controller via a first interface of the first memory controller; the first memory controller storing the first data in a non-volatile memory buffer of the first memory controller; and the first memory controller programming the first data stored in the non-volatile memory buffer in a first physical region of the non-volatile memory device corresponding to the first physical address.
