A memory of the storage device includes a first memory location of one or more single-level cells and a second memory location of one or more multiple-level cells. A controller of the storage device receives first data associated with a first range of logical addresses and second data associated with a second range of logical addresses.

The controller stores or writes the second data in the second memory location when an overlap is not determined. Accordingly, data flushing to the single-level cells is minimized when no overlap is determined.
