Abstract
A method of storing data onto a non-volatile memory includes receiving, from a host, first data that is originally assigned to a first storage area, programming the first data to a second storage area, receiving second data from the host, and while receiving the second data from the host, programming, to the first storage area, the first data that has been programmed to the second storage area, wherein the second data is received from the host simultaneously with the first data being programmed to the first storage area. The second storage area is capable of having data stored thereon faster than the first storage area.
