Abstract:
A method of operating a storage device managing a multi-namespace includes storing first mapping information including a mapping between a first logical address space and a first physical address space to a mapping table, in response to a request to create a first namespace, the first logical address space being allocated to the first namespace, and storing second mapping information including a mapping between a second logical address space and a second physical address space to the mapping table, in response to a request to create a second namespace, the second logical address space being allocated to the second namespace and being contiguous to the first logical address space.
Abstract:
A system comprises a nonvolatile memory device comprising a memory cell array comprising a plurality of memory blocks each comprising a plurality of cell strings, each of cell strings comprises the plurality of memory cells stacked in a direction perpendicular to a substrate, a ground selection transistor disposed between the memory cells and the substrate, and a string selection transistor disposed between the memory cells and a bitline, and configured to read stored data from the memory cells using a plurality of read voltages; and a memory controller configured to read the memory cells using a reference voltage to generate on-cell data, and adjust the read voltages of the nonvolatile memory device based on the generated on-cell data.
Abstract:
A method of operating a memory system includes; storing data in a buffer region of the nonvolatile memory, later issuing a migration request directed to the data stored in the buffer region and executing a migration operation to move the data from buffer region to a main region of the nonvolatile memory device. Upon completion of the migration operation, marking a migration operation completion time, and after an initial verify shift (IVS) time has elapsed following the migration operation completion time, updating a mapping table associated with the data in view of the executed migration operation.
Abstract:
A data storage device is provided. The data storage device a buffer configured to store a mapping table comprising physical block addresses (PBAs) corresponding to logical block addresses (LBAs), a non-volatile memory configured to store data; and a controller configured to control the buffer and the non-volatile. The controller is configured to read data stored at a first PBA of the non-volatile memory corresponding to a first LBA by referring to the mapping table when receiving a command to read data corresponding to the first LBA from outside of the data storage device, and, when a second LBA included in the data read from the non-volatile memory is different from the first LBA, retry reading, from the non-volatile memory, the data corresponding to the first LBA.
Abstract:
A method of operating a storage controller, for controlling a garbage collection operation so that blocks included in a non-volatile memory satisfy reuse constraints, includes determining whether the number of free blocks among the blocks is smaller than a first reference value for triggering a garbage collection operation and performing the garbage collection operation on the blocks until the number of free blocks is equal to a second reference value larger than the first reference value according to a result of the determination.
Abstract:
A method of operating a storage device includes receiving a first logical address from a host, determining whether first metadata stored in a volatile memory of the storage device and associated with the first logical address is corrupted, processing the first metadata as an uncorrectable error when the first metadata is determined to be corrupted, providing an error message to the host indicating that an operation cannot be performed on data associated with the first logical address when the first metadata is processed as the uncorrectable error, after the providing of the error message, receiving a second logical address from the host, determining whether second metadata stored in the volatile memory and associated with the second logical address is corrupted, and performing an operation of accessing the non-volatile memory based on the second metadata, when the second metadata is not determined to be corrupted.
