Storage device including nonvolatile memory device and operating method using multiple map tables
A storage device, including: a nonvolatile memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells; and a controller configured to perform a write operation on at least one write unit included in the plurality of memory cells, and to perform an erase operation on at least one erase unit included in the plurality of memory cells, wherein the controller is further configured to: allocate a plurality of zones to a storage space of the nonvolatile memory device based on a request received from an external host device, select two or more erase units from among a plurality of erase units included in the plurality of memory cells to be allocated to each zone of the plurality of zones, fixedly and sequentially manage logical addresses of data to be written in the plurality of zones, and generate at least two map tables for the each zone.
1 . A storage device comprising:
a nonvolatile memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells; and
a controller configured to perform a write operation on at least one write unit included in the plurality of memory cells, and to perform an erase operation on at least one erase unit included in the plurality of memory cells,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
allocate a plurality of zones to a storage space of the nonvolatile memory device based on a request received from an external host device,
select two or more erase units from among a plurality of erase units included in the plurality of memory cells to be allocated to each zone of the plurality of zones,
fixedly and sequentially manage logical addresses of data to be written in the plurality of zones, and
generate at least two map tables for the each zone,
wherein the at least two map tables comprise:
a first map table configured to map a logical address of the at least one write unit to a physical address of the at least one write unit; and
a second map table configured to map a logical address of the at least one erase unit to a physical address of the at least one erase unit, wherein, based on a zone copy request being received from the external host device, the controller is further configured to read first data from a first zone from among the plurality of zones, and to write the first data in a second zone from among the plurality of zones,
wherein the zone copy request is received using a command UFS protocol information unit (UPIU), and
wherein the controller is further configured to identify the second zone based on an address included in the command UPIU.
2 . The storage device of claim 1 , wherein, based on an access error occurring while the controller accesses a zone from among the plurality of zones, the controller is further configured to write access error data corresponding to the access error in a first write unit of a recovery area.
3 . The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises a plurality of zone buffers corresponding to at least some zones of the plurality of zones, and
wherein the controller is further configured to write buffer data which is stored in the plurality of zone buffers in at least one erase unit which is separate from the plurality of zones in a backup operation.
4 . The storage device of claim 3 , wherein the controller is further configured to migrate the buffer data which is written in the at least one erase unit to at least one corresponding zone from among the plurality of zones.
5 . The storage device of claim 1 , wherein, based on read requests for sequential logical addresses being received from the external host device, the controller is further configured to prefetch next data corresponding to at least one next logical address without receiving an additional request from the external host device.
6 . The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a data out UPIU from the external host device and to identify the first data from among all data stored in the first zone based on an address included in the data out UPIU.
7 . The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
perform a first garbage collection operation for the each zone based on a garbage collection request received from the external host device; and
perform a second garbage collection operation on two or more zones from among the plurality of zones without receiving the garbage collection request.
8 . The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the first map table comprises a page map table, and
wherein the second map table comprises a zone map table.
9 . A storage device comprising:
a nonvolatile memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells; and
a controller configured to perform a write operation on at least one write unit included in the plurality of memory cells, and to perform an erase operation on at least one erase unit included in the plurality of memory cells,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
allocate a plurality of zones to a storage space of the nonvolatile memory device based on a request received from an external host device,
select two or more erase units from among a plurality of erase units included in the plurality of memory cells to be allocated to each zone of the plurality of zones,
fixedly and sequentially manage logical addresses of data to be written in the plurality of zones, and
generate at least two map tables for the each zone,
wherein the at least two map tables comprise:
a first map table configured to map a logical address of the at least one write unit to a physical address of the at least one write unit; and
a second map table configured to map a logical address of the at least one erase unit to a physical address of the at least one erase unit, wherein, based on a zone copy request being received from the external host device, the controller is further configured to read first data from a first zone from among the plurality of zones, and to write the first data in a second zone from among the plurality of zones,
wherein the zone copy request is received using a command UFS protocol information unit (UPIU), and
wherein the controller is further configured to identify the first zone and the second zone based on addresses included in the command UPIU.
10 . The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to identify the first data from among all data stored in the first zone based on a bitmap included in the command UPIU.
