Abstract: A storage device, including a nonvolatile memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells; and a controller configured to: allocate a plurality of zones to a storage space of the nonvolatile memory device based on a request received from an external host device, fixedly and sequentially manage logical addresses of data written in the plurality of zones, generate a first page map table corresponding to a first zone based on performing the write operation on the first zone, the first page map table comprising a logical address and a physical address of the first zone, based on the first zone being full, activate a read service, which is based on the zone map table, and based on the read service being activated, process read requests for the first zone from the external host device using the zone map table.

Abstract: A storage device, including: a nonvolatile memory device including a plurality of memory cells; and a controller configured to, based on receiving an open zone command from an external host device: based on a number of free erase units from among a plurality of erase units included in the plurality of memory cells being greater than a threshold value, allocate at least two free erase units to a first-type zone, and based on the number of the free erase units being smaller than or equal to the threshold value, allocate the at least two free erase units to a second-type zone. wherein the controller is further configured to permit a random write based on a random logical address received from the external host device for the first-type zone, and to permit a zone write based on a sequential logical address received from the external host device for the second-type zone.

Abstract: A storage device, including: a nonvolatile memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells; and a controller configured to perform a write operation on at least one write unit included in the plurality of memory cells, and to perform an erase operation on at least one erase unit included in the plurality of memory cells, wherein the controller is further configured to: allocate a plurality of zones to a storage space of the nonvolatile memory device based on a request received from an external host device, select two or more erase units from among a plurality of erase units included in the plurality of memory cells to be allocated to each zone of the plurality of zones, fixedly and sequentially manage logical addresses of data to be written in the plurality of zones, and generate at least two map tables for the each zone
