Abstract: A method of processing data in a memory system including a control unit and a hybrid memory device having a first memory and a second memory, includes; receiving first write data, storing the first write data in the first memory and assigning a first group state from among a plurality of group states to the stored first write data in response to first attribution information, completing a data processing operation in the memory system directed to the stored first write data that changes the attribution information associated with the stored first write data by monitoring of the first attribution information using an operating system running on the memory controller, and changing the first group state assigned to the stored first write data to a second group state from among the plurality of group states, the second group state having a different priority than a priority for the first group state.

Abstract: An erase method of a nonvolatile memory device is provided which includes receiving an erase request; selecting an erase mode of a memory block corresponding to the erase request, based on an access condition of the nonvolatile memory device managed by a memory controller; and controlling the nonvolatile memory device to erase the memory block according to the selected erase mode. The erase mode includes a fast erase mode of which an erase time for the memory block is shorter than a reference time and a slow erase mode of which an erase time for the memory block is longer than the reference time.

Abstract: A storage device is provided which includes a nonvolatile memory device configured to store a plurality of reference data, a memory configured to store a hash manage table used to manage a plurality of reference hash keys of each of the plurality of reference data, a hash key generator configured to generate a plurality of hash keys based on write requested data, and a memory controller configured to compare the plurality of hash keys and reference hash keys of each reference data to determine whether to store the write requested data in the nonvolatile memory device. The memory controller selects one of the plurality of reference data according to a similarity between the plurality of hash keys and the plurality of reference hash keys of each reference data and stores the write requested data and the selected reference data in the nonvolatile memory device to refer to each other.

Abstract: An access method of a nonvolatile memory device included in a user device includes receiving a write request to write data into the nonvolatile memory device; detecting an application issuing the write request, a user context, a queue size of a write buffer, an attribute of the write-requested data, or an operation mode of the user device; and deciding one of a plurality of write modes to use for writing the write-requested data into the nonvolatile memory device according to the detected information. The write modes have different program voltages and verify voltage sets.

Abstract: A method of operating a memory device includes: determining an erase mode based on a number of erase cycles performed on a memory block and an erase voltage utilized to perform each erase cycle; and setting an erase voltage level for executing an erase operation on the memory block based on the determined erase mode.
