STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING BUFFER AND MAIN MEMORIES, AND USER DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

a storage device includes a nonvolatile memory including a buffer region and a main region, and a memory controller responsive to a write request to store successively received blocks of write data at the nonvolatile memory. The memory controller is configured to initially store blocks among the successively received blocks of write data in the main region of the nonvolatile memory, and to subsequently store remaining blocks among the successively receive blocks of write data in the buffer region when a continuity count exceeds a reference count. The continuity count denotes a number of times a data size of the successively received blocks consecutively equals or exceeds a reference data size.

1. A storage device comprising:
a nonvolatile memory including a buffer region and a main region; and a memory controller responsive to a write request to store successively received blocks of write data at the nonvolatile memory, wherein the memory controller is configured to initially store blocks among the successively received blocks of write data in the main region of the nonvolatile memory, and to subsequently store remaining blocks among the successively receive blocks of write data in the buffer region when a continuity count equals or exceeds a reference count, wherein the continuity count denotes a number of times a data size of the successively received blocks consecutively equals or exceeds a reference data size.
