    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling refresh operations of a memory device. A method disclosed herein includes receiving, by a refresh controller of the memory device, a refresh command from a host for performing the refresh operation on a plurality of memory rows. The method further includes selecting, by the refresh controller, at least one memory row from the plurality of memory rows for the refresh operation using a refresh-row selection circuitry. The at least one memory row is selected by performing digital reading or analog reading of at least one row condition cell (RCC) and at least one supplemental cell that are connected to each memory row of the memory rows. The method further includes performing, by the refresh controller, the refresh operation on the selected at least one memory row.

    Abstract: A storage system for managing an array of SSDs includes the array of SSDs and a host controller. Each of the SSDs is operable to store data. The host controller is configured to manage the array of SSDs as multiple logical volumes. Each of the logical volumes is associated with at least one stream ID. At least one of the SSDs and the host controller stores a system code configured to execute stream ID commands to access each of the logical volumes. Each of the logical volumes is dedicated to a memory region of each of the SSDs. Each of the logical volumes corresponding to the memory region of each of the SSDs are combined to form a logical volume group using the at least one stream ID. The host controller uses the stream ID commands to communicate with logical volumes of the logical volume group.
