Abstract
A memory system includes a memory device including at least one storage region; and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller separates write data input from an external device from metadata associated with data stored in the memory device. Based on an operation state of the at least one storage region, the controller stores the write data into a buffer storing data to be transferred to the at least one storage region in the memory device. The controller stores the metadata into the buffer regardless of the operation state of the at least one storage region. The controller transfers the write data or the metadata stored in the buffer to the memory device for storing the write data or the metadata in the memory device.
