Abstract
An electronic system includes a host device and a storage device. The storage device includes a first memory device that is accessed by the host device by units of a byte through a byte accessible interface and a second memory device that is accessed by the host device by units of a block through a block accessible interface. The storage device performs an internal data transfer between the first memory device and the second memory device based on an internal transfer command that is provided through the block accessible interface from the host device. The electronic system may efficiently support the access by units of a byte and the access by units of a block between the host device and the storage device by performing internal data transfer in the storage device using the internal transfer command that is modified from the existing block access command.
