Abstract

A method of operating a storage device including a nonvolatile memory can be provided by receiving, from a host, address change information including changing logical addresses for data to be stored in the nonvolatile memory. Physical addresses can be sequentially allocated to the changing logical addresses included in the address change information to provide a first journal. A portion of at least one physical address allocated to the changing logical addresses can be removed to provide a second journal and the second journal can be stored in the nonvolatile memory.
