    Abstract: A storage device includes first and second memory devices, and a memory controller. The first memory devices correspond to a main data area. The second memory devices correspond to a reserved area. The memory controller is coupled to the first and second memory devices through first and second channels. A number of first memory devices coupled to the memory controller through the first channel is equal to a number of first memory devices coupled to the memory controller through the second channel, and a number of second memory devices coupled to the memory controller through the first channel is different from a number of second memory devices coupled to the memory controller through the second channel. The memory controller selects a memory device on which a write operation is to be performed, based on a memory state of the first and second memory devices.

    Abstract: A memory system includes at least one semiconductor memory device including a plurality of memory blocks in which an original data stripe including a plurality of unit data and parity data is stored, and a controller configured to control an operation of the semiconductor memory device. The controller performs an error correction operation on one or more unit data received from the semiconductor memory device, and generates data for recovery based on remaining data except for first and second unit data among the plurality of unit data, in response to a first error correction failure for the first unit data among the plurality of unit data and a second error correction failure for the second unit data.
