Abstract:
A nonvolatile storage device in accordance with the inventive concepts includes a nonvolatile memory device comprising a first memory area, a second memory area, and a memory controller. The memory controller includes a first register configured to store reliable mode information, and a second register configured to store operating system (OS) image information. The memory controller is configured to receive a command from a host based on the reliable mode information; determine whether the command is a write request for an OS image and whether OS image information accompanying the command matches the OS image information stored in the second register; write the OS image to the first memory area if the OS image information accompanying the command matches the OS image information stored in the second register, and block data migration of the OS image from the first memory area to the second memory area.
Abstract:
A storage device includes at least one nonvolatile memory device including a plurality of memory blocks, the nonvolatile memory device configured to store user data and meta data in the plurality of memory blocks, and a device controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory device, to calculate a user cost corresponding to a time of memory accesses to the user data to be performed at garbage collection with respect to each of the plurality of memory blocks, to calculate a meta cost corresponding to a time of memory accesses to the meta data to be performed at the garbage collection with respect to each of the plurality of memory blocks, to select a victim block among the plurality of memory blocks based on the user cost and the meta cost, and to perform the garbage collection on the victim block.

Abstract:
An open-channel storage device being configured to be controlled by a host including a bad block manager, the open-channel storage device including a buffer memory and a nonvolatile memory device. An operation method of the open-channel storage device includes performing a normal operation under control of the host, detecting a sudden power-off immediately after a program failure associated with a first data block among a plurality of memory blocks included in the nonvolatile memory device while the normal operation is performed, dumping a plurality of user data stored in the buffer memory to a dump block among the plurality of memory blocks in response to the detected sudden power-off, detecting a power-on, and performing a data recovery operation on the plurality of user data stored in the dump block in response to the detected power-on.
