STORAGE DEVICE HAVING A DATA STREAM CONVERTER

摘要

According to one embodiment, a storage device has a plurality of memory modules and a memory controller. The memory controller has a first unit configured to receive data to be stored in the memory modules from a host device as a write data stream and transmit data read from the memory modules to the host device as a read data stream, a second unit having a plurality of subunits, each of which is configured to write data in one of the memory modules corresponding to the subunit and read data from one of the memory modules corresponding to the subunit, and a data stream converter configured to parallelize the write data stream into a plurality of data blocks each of which is to be stored in one of the memory modules and to serialize a plurality of data blocks read from the memory modules into the read data stream.
