Storage device and method of operating the same

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

• receiving commands from a plurality of tenants;
• in response to a number of the received commands being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, determining a first number of channels, among a plurality of channels, required to store first data of a first tenant in each way of a plurality of ways based on a command received from each of the plurality of tenants, each channel of the plurality of channels comprising a plurality of memory dies corresponding to the plurality of ways;
• and
• storing the first data in the first number of memory dies in each way of the plurality of ways,
• wherein the first data is stored in memory dies that correspond to the plurality of channels in at least a portion or an entire portion of the plurality of ways.

A storage device comprising:

• a nonvolatile memory device comprising a plurality of channels, each channel of the plurality of channels comprising a plurality of memory dies corresponding to a plurality of ways;
• and
• a storage controller,
• wherein the storage controller comprises:
• a command queue configured to store commands transmitted from a plurality of tenants,
• an input command handler configured to fetch the commands from the command queue;
• a channel allocator configured to determine a first number of channels required to store first data of a first tenant based on information included in the commands;
• and
• a placement unit configured to store the first data in the first number of memory dies in each way of the plurality of ways, and
• wherein the first data is stored in memory dies that evenly correspond to the plurality of channels in at least a portion or an entire portion of the plurality of ways.
