Abstract: In a method of operating storage devices including a first storage device and a second storage device connected to each other via a host device, a data migration request for a first namespace included in the first storage device is received. A second namespace is generated in the second storage device. The second namespace corresponds to the first namespace. A pointer table that is used to perform a data migration operation corresponding to the data migration request is set. First data and second data are migrated to the second namespace based on the pointer table. The first data is stored in the first namespace. The second data is stored in a first buffer memory included in the first storage device and corresponds to the first namespace. Based on the data migration operation being performed, the second data is directly transmitted from the first buffer memory to the second namespace.

Abstract: An operation method of a storage device includes, when receiving a write request for a first namespace among a plurality of namespaces logically divided and recognized by an external host device, determining whether an available space of the first namespace is insufficient; when it is determined that the available space of the first namespace is insufficient, allocating a portion of an available space of a second namespace different from the first namespace from among the plurality of namespaces to a temporary space for the first namespace; transmitting information about a lack of the available space of the first namespace and information about the allocation of the temporary space of the second namespace to the external host device; and storing data corresponding to the write request for the first namespace in the temporary space of the second namespace.
