Abstract
A Solid State Disk (SSD) includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices storing data, and an embedded solid state disk controlling the plurality of nonvolatile memory devices. The SSD uses an embedded SSD (eSSD) as a controller. Thus, the SSD can be embodied in a small area. Also, since the SSD does not need an additional process for manufacturing a controller, manufacturing cost per unit may be reduced.
