Abstract: A storage device includes at least one nonvolatile memory device; and a memory controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory device, wherein the memory controller includes, at least one processor configured to control an overall operation of the memory controller; a buffer memory configured to store input/output data according to a control of the processor when an input/output request from an external device occurs; an error correction circuit configured to detect and correct an error of the input/output data; a garbage collector configured to selectively generate a first global garbage collection command in response to the input/output request and configured to perform a global garbage collection according to a second global garbage collection command received from the external device; and a storage interface configured to transmit the first global garbage collection command to another storage device.

Abstract: A computing system includes a storage device and a processor. The storage device includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices, and stores user data and latency information in the plurality of nonvolatile memory devices. The processor receives the latency information from the storage device, determines a polling delay time based on the latency information, transmits a storage device command to the storage device, and initiates polling that checks a state of the storage device, after expiration of the polling delay time, as determined from a time when the storage device command was transmitted.
