    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device including a plurality of blocks, each capable of storing data, and a controller, coupled with the memory device. The controller can perform at least one sub erase operation on each of the plurality of blocks, and variably increase an erase count of each of the plurality of blocks based on a timing of erasing data of each of the plurality of blocks through the sub erase operation.

    Abstract: A memory system includes: a memory device; a valid page counter for counting the number of valid pages of each closed block in the memory device before and after a map update operation; a maximum valid page decrease amount detector for detecting a maximum valid page decrease amount by calculating a valid page decrease amount for each closed memory block based on the number of the valid pages for the corresponding closed memory block, so as to calculate a total sum of valid page decrease amounts; and a garbage collector for performing a garbage collection operation on a victim block in the memory device, when the number of free blocks in the memory device is less than a first threshold value and greater than a second threshold value and a ratio of the maximal valid page decrease amount to the total sum of the valid page decrease amounts is a third threshold value or less.
