Abstract

A method of operating a memory system, which includes a memory controller and at least one non-volatile memory, includes storing, in the memory system, temperature-dependent performance level information received from a host disposed external to the memory system, setting an operation performance level of the memory system to a first performance level, operating the memory controller and the at least one non-volatile memory device according to the first performance level, detecting an internal temperature of the memory system, and changing the operation performance level of the memory system to a second performance level that is different from the first performance level. The operation performance level is changed by the memory controller of the memory system, and changing the operation performance level is based on the temperature-dependent performance level information and the detected internal temperature.
