  • Publication number: 20250117136
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a storage device and more particularly to a storage device which processes data for each zone in a device implemented with zone storage, and an operation method of the storage device. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, remaining blocks generated in each zone are collected and set to an over provisioning area, so that a storage space can be efficiently used. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, data is separated and written to different zones. Also, zone compression is performed on the data written to a specific zone, so that the storage space of the zone storage can be efficiently used.

  • Patent number: 12072809
    Abstract: The memory system is provided to include a memory device, and a memory controller configured to control the memory device. The memory controller is configured to transmit, after the host completes a first initial setting operation for the memory system, mapping information between a logical address and a physical address to a host in order to load the mapping information between the logical address and the physical address into a host memory area located in the host, and to transmit, before the host executes a second initial setting operation for the memory system, to the host, updated mapping information between the logical address and the physical address to update, based on a change made to the host memory area.
