Electronic systems and methods of operating electronic systems

A storage device, comprising:

• a storage medium;
• a command manager configured to receive a command signal including a time-out time from a host;
• and
• a command executor configured to receive the command signal from the command manager and configured to perform an operation corresponding to the command signal on the storage medium,
• wherein the command manger includes a command controller configured to:
• calculate a first time amount, the first time amount being an amount of time required for the storage device to perform an operation corresponding to the command signal;
• when the first time amount is equal to or shorter than the time-out time included in the command signal,
• provide a first response signal including a success flag to the host after the storage device performs the operation corresponding to the command signal within the time-out time;
• when the first time amount is longer than the time-out time included in the command signal,
• provide a second response signal including the first time amount and a time-out reset flag to the host;
• and
• receive the command signal from the host, the command signal including the time-out time which is reset to the first time amount included in the second response signal.

A method of operating a storage device, the method comprising:

• receiving, at the storage device, a command signal including a time-out time and an indication to perform an operation from a host;
• determining, at the storage device, a first time amount;
• deciding, at the storage device, whether to send the determined first time amount to the host, the deciding being based on the time-out time and the determined first time amount;
• sending, at the storage device, the determined first time amount from the storage device to the host based on the deciding;
• receiving, at the storage device, the command signal including the time-out time which is set to the determined first time amount;
• and
• performing, at the storage device, an operation corresponding to the command signal including the time-out time which is set to the determined first time amount.
