SYSTEM INCLUDING DATA STORAGE DEVICE, AND DATA STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING FIRST AND SECOND MEMORY REGIONS

摘要

A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory device including a memory cell array, where the memory cell array includes a first region and a second region, and a memory controller configured to judge whether a size of data externally provided according to a write request exceeds a reference size, and to control the non-volatile memory device according to a judgment result. When the externally provided data exceeds the reference size, the memory controller controls the non-volatile memory device such that a portion of the externally provided data is stored in the second region via a main program operation and such that a remainder of the externally provided data is stored in the first region via a buffer program operation.
