Abstract
A storage device includes a memory device and a controller. The controller includes a programmable logic device which is reconfigurable, based on requests which are received from an outside of the storage device, to adaptively support a plurality of protocols depending on the requests. As the programmable logic device is programmed to support a first protocol among the plurality of protocols based on a first request which is received from the outside of the storage device with regard to the first protocol, the programmable logic device processes the first request in compliance with the first protocol, and the controller communicates with the memory device based on the first request such that the memory device stores or outputs data corresponding to the first request.
