Abstract: A data storage device may include a storage including a plurality of memory blocks composed of system memory blocks for storing system data and user memory blocks for storing user data; and a controller configured to: control exchange of the system and user data with the storage in response to a request of a host device; and determine whether a start condition for performing a garbage collection operation on the storage is satisfied, based on a number of bad memory blocks in the plurality of memory blocks.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. A computing system includes a storage device and a host. The storage device includes a memory device including a write protection area. The host performs an operation of providing, to the storage device, a first request regarding security write and write data in parallel with an operation of generating a host authentication code based on the write data and a key shared with the storage device.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. A storage device includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory device includes a write protection area. The memory controller controls the memory device to perform a read operation on the write protection area, in response to a series of requests regarding security read that are received from a host, provides read data received from the memory device to the host, and generates a device authentication code based on the read data. The memory controller performs generation of the device authentication code in parallel with provision of the read data to the host.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. A computing system includes a host and a storage device. The host generates a host authentication code. The storage device receives a first request among a series of first to third requests regarding security write and write data from the host, generates a device authentication code based on the write data, receives the second request and the host authentication code from the host, and performs a program operation on the write data based on a result of comparing the host authentication code with the device authentication code.
