A memory system comprising:
- a memory device including a plurality of memory blocks each including a plurality of pages;
- and
- a memory controller configured to:
- write data corresponding to a plurality of zones to a first area including two or more of the plurality of memory blocks, and
- flush the data corresponding to a first zone among the plurality of zones to a second area including two or more of the plurality of memory blocks on determination that a flush condition set for the first zone is satisfied,
- wherein a size of each of the plurality of zones is less than or equal to a storage capacity of each of the plurality of memory blocks.
A memory controller comprising:
- a memory interface for communicating with an external device including a plurality of memory blocks each including a plurality of pages;
- and
- a control circuit configured to:
