Abstract: A storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device that includes a plurality of memory blocks, and a controller that uses some memory blocks of the plurality of memory blocks as a buffer area. Memory blocks storing invalid data from among the some memory blocks are invalid memory blocks, and the controller identifies memory blocks, of which an elapsed time after erase is greater than a reuse time, from among the invalid memory blocks as an available buffer size, and provides the available buffer size to an external host device.

Abstract: Storage devices including a memory device and methods of operating the storage devices are provided. The storage devices may include a controller which is configured to program first bit data and second bit data paired with the first bit data into a memory device. The first bit data may be less significant bit data than the second bit data. The controller may be configured to selectively perform or skip backup of the first bit data when programming the second bit data.
