Abstract: When an unrecoverable error occurs in a storage device that receives a command from a host device, the storage device transmits a hint requesting transmission of a hardware reset signal to the host device, and the storage device performs a reset operation by receiving the hardware reset signal corresponding to the hint from the host device. Using a fast recovery operation, delay time due to occurrence of the error may be reduced, and the operational performance of the storage device may be improved.
