  • Storage device and control method
    Patent number: 11644991
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller manages memory area sets. The controller distributes a first memory area set into a first group. The controller distributes a second memory area set into a second group. The controller comprises first to fourth circuits. The first circuit processes a first read request from a host to the first memory area set. The second circuit processes a first write request from the host to the first memory area set. The third circuit processes a second read request from the host to the second memory area set. The fourth circuit processes a second write request from the host to the second memory area set.
