A storage device being capable of communicating with a host device, the host device comprising a first semiconductor memory and a first controller circuit, the storage device comprising:
- a second semiconductor memory being nonvolatile;
- and
- a second controller circuit being capable of receiving a request for accessing to a first logical address from the first controller circuit, wherein
- the controller circuit is capable of determining based on first information whether second information for performing the request is stored in an area of the first semiconductor memory,
- the area has been reserved by the host device for storing data from the storage device,
- the second controller circuit is capable of reading the second information from the area of the first semiconductor memory and accessing the second semiconductor memory using the second information if the controller circuit determines that the second information for performing the request is stored in the area of the first semiconductor memory,
- wherein the host device transfers the second information to the storage device when the second controller circuit determines that the second information for performing the request is stored in the area of the first semiconductor and reads the second information from the area of the first semiconductor memory,
- wherein the second information is address conversion information.
