Abstract: The present disclosure relates to storage devices. An example storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device that includes a plurality of memory blocks, and a memory controller that controls the nonvolatile memory device. The memory controller performs a soft erase operation on a first memory block among the plurality of memory blocks, measures a first cell count by applying a first reference voltage to a plurality of first memory cells selected in advance from a plurality of memory cells of the first memory block after performing the soft erase operation, generates a first health index associated with a retention characteristic of the first memory block based on the first cell count, and performs a reliability management operation on the first memory block based on the first health index.

Abstract: An operating method of a storage device includes monitoring a temperature of a nonvolatile memory device including a plurality of memory blocks, receiving a first request from a host, in response to the first request, transmitting a first command to the nonvolatile memory device when a first memory block corresponding to the first request is exposed at a temperature of a threshold temperature or higher for a first time period that is equal to or greater than a threshold time period and a second command to the nonvolatile memory device when the first memory block is exposed at a temperature lower than the threshold temperature for the threshold time period, charging word lines of the first memory block with a driving voltage in response to the first command, and performing a first operation corresponding to the first request in response to the first command or the second command.

Abstract: A storage device includes a controller configured to control a non-volatile memory device(s) having a plurality of memory blocks therein. The controller includes secure erase control logic configured to: (i) control secure erase operations on the plurality of memory blocks in response to a secure erase request received from a host, and (ii) set flags corresponding to the plurality of memory blocks such that a first flag corresponding to a first memory block, which has undergone at least two of the secure erase operations, has a first value. Adaptive control logic is provided, which is configured to change at least one operating condition associated with a write operation and/or read operation directed at the first memory block, in response to detecting that the first flag has the first value.

Abstract: A storage device performing a secure erase and an operating method thereof are provided. The storage device may include a controller configured to control a non-volatile memory device including a plurality of blocks. The controller includes a secure erase control logic configured to control a secure erase operation on the plurality of blocks and perform a control operation in response to a secure erase request from a host with respect to a first block among the plurality of blocks such that the secure erase operation on the first block is skipped based on a result of determining at least one selected from a secure erase state and/or a deterioration state of the first block.
