Abstract
The present disclosure provides a memory system with a non-volatile memory that includes a plurality of storage areas. Each storage may include a plurality of first storage groups in a first area and a plurality of second storage groups in a second area. The first area may support physical addressing. The second area may not support physical addressing. A memory controller of the memory system may perform a wear leveling process by swapping a first storage group having a first group write count with a second storage group having a second group write count. The first group write count may be a maximum group write count among a plurality of group write counts corresponding to the plurality of first storage groups. The second group write count may be a minimum group write count among a plurality of group write counts corresponding to the plurality of second storage groups.
