Abstract
A method of operating a storage device includes receiving a request of a host device, determining a unit of data required for one operation of resources of the storage device based on an access pattern of the host device included in the request and a minimum data unit by which a non-volatile memory included in the storage device operates, and performing an operation, by the resources of the storage device, based on the determined unit.
Claims20
A method of operating a storage device including a non-volatile memory, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a host device;
- determining a unit of data for performing one operation of one or more resources of the storage device based on an access pattern of the host device included in the request and a minimum data unit by which the non-volatile memory operates;
- and
- performing an operation, by the one or more resources of the storage device, based on the determined unit of data.
A storage device comprising:
- a non-volatile memory;
- and
- a storage controller configured to:
- receive a request from a host device;
- determine a unit of data for performing one operation of one or more resources of the storage device based on an access pattern of the host device included in the request and a minimum data unit by which the non-volatile memory operates;
- and
- cause the one or more resources of the storage device to perform an operation based on the determined unit of data.
A resource management device comprising:
- a memory storing instructions to perform a resource management operation;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive a request from a host device;
- determine a unit of data for performing one operation of one or more resources of a storage device based on an access pattern of the host device included in the request and a minimum data unit by which a non-volatile memory included in the storage device operates;
- and
- perform an operation, by the one or more resources of the storage device, based on the determined unit of data.
