  • Publication number: 20130179752
    Abstract: A storage device which includes a user area of a memory cell array; a buffer area configured to temporarily store compressed data to be written into the user area; and compressed data management logic configured to control the user area and the buffer area such that compressed data stored in the buffer area is written into the user area. The compressed data management logic manages compressed data to be written into the user area by an ECC block unit rather than by a page-size unit.

  • Publication number: 20130097366
    Abstract: Provided are a storage device and a user device used by connecting to the user device. The storage device may include a nonvolatile memory and a control unit configured to control the nonvolatile memory. When write data is received from the host, the control unit outputs a first response signal including information indicating whether the write data is successfully received. When the write data is stored in the nonvolatile memory, the control unit outputs a second response signal including on whether the write data is successfully stored in the nonvolatile memory. Since the storage device does not require a program backup memory, it may be implemented in a small area.
