Abstract
A storage device may include a memory and a controller. The controller may input, to the memory, a read command for a first plane among the plurality of planes through a first path connected to the first terminal, receive, from the memory, read data for the read command through a second path connected to the second terminal, and input, to the memory, one or more additional commands through the first path in parallel with an operation of receiving the read data during an expected output time of the read data.

A storage device comprising:
- a memory including a plurality of planes, a first terminal for inputting one or more commands, and a second terminal for inputting or outputting data;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- input, to the memory, a read command for a first plane among the plurality of planes through a first path connected to the first terminal,
- receive, from the memory, read data for the read command through a second path connected to the second terminal, and
- input, to the memory, one or more additional commands through the first path in parallel with an operation of receiving the read data during an expected output time of the read data,
- wherein the one or more additional commands include at least one of a command for setting a feature of the memory, a command for acquiring the feature of the memory, a reset command for resetting the memory, or a command for reading identification information of the memory.

An operating method of a storage device, the operating method comprising:
- inputting, to a memory, a read command for a first plane among a plurality of planes of the memory through a first path connected to a first terminal of the memory;
- and
- executing, in parallel, an operation of receiving, from the memory, read data for the read command through a second path connected to a second terminal of the memory, and an operation of inputting, to the memory, one or more additional commands through the first path during an expected output time of the read data,
- wherein the one or more additional commands include at least one of a command for setting a feature of the memory, a command for acquiring the feature of the memory, a reset command for resetting the memory, or a command for reading identification information of the memory.
