  • Publication number: 20260127106
    Abstract: A memory system includes: a memory device including a plurality of memory blocks, and a controller configured to manage the plurality of memory blocks as N block groups, wherein the controller comprises: N operation cores, each configured to manage access to a corresponding block group by mapping a corresponding one of N physical address ranges corresponding to the N block groups to a corresponding one of N first logical address ranges, and a control core configured to manage a second logical address range shared with a host by dividing the second logical address range into N third logical address ranges that are sequential, and to manage access to the N operation cores by dynamically mapping the N third logical address ranges to the N first logical address ranges.

  • Patent number: 11893272
    Abstract: A memory storage device is capable of improving reliability of a memory system. The memory storage device comprises a memory controller, and a non-volatile memory connected to the memory controller. A method includes receiving, by the memory controller, a command from a host device, the command requesting lost LBA (logical block address) information resulting from a system shutdown of the memory storage device, in response to the command, providing, by the memory controller, the lost LBA information, and receiving, by the memory controller, recovered data corresponding to the lost LBA information, wherein the lost LBA information includes at least one of the number of LBAs lost by system shutdown, an LBA list lost by system shutdown, and deletion of a previous LBA list lost by system shutdown.
