Abstract
An electronic device includes: a storage device including multiple segments configured to store data; a buffer memory configured to store segment attributes corresponding to the multiple segments, respectively; and one processor electrically connected to the storage device and the buffer memory. The one processor is configured to: determine, based on two or more parameters related to a data requested to be written, a data attribute; store the data requested to be written in a segment of the multiple segments, the segment being corresponding to the data attribute among the multiple segments; store a segment attribute of the segment, which is determined based on the data attribute in the buffer memory; update the data attribute, based on a data modification time of the data requested to be written; and update the segment attribute, based on the updated data attribute.
