Abstract
An electronic device may include a processor, a first volatile memory, and a storage including a nonvolatile memory and a second volatile memory. The processor may be configured to: identify information of a specific file and a kind of a request for data included in the specific file in response to a creation of the request for the data, set a flag in the request based on the identified information of the specific file, identify whether mapping information of a specific region including a logical address of the data among mapping information in which logical addresses and physical addresses for the nonvolatile memory are mapped onto each other is stored in the first volatile memory, determine whether to manage the mapping information of the specific region using the first volatile memory, and determine whether to update the mapping information of the specific region in the first volatile memory.
