Abstract
A pooled memory device includes plural memory devices and a controller. The plural memory devices include a first memory and a second memory with at least one power supply configured to control power supplied to each of the plural memory devices. The controller is coupled to an interconnect device which is configured to provide the plural memory devices to at least one external device as a logical device. The controller is configured to track available storage capacities of the first memory and the second memory and cut off power supplied to an unused memory among the first memory and the second memory.
