Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 18:
19. An operating method for a host device, the operating method comprising:
buffering data while a size of the buffered data stays expressed as the following Equation 1; and
flushing, into a storage device, at least a part of the buffered data,
wherein a size of the part is an amount expressed as the following Equation 2:

A>B, where  [Equation 1]

‘A’ represents a size of data that can be flushed into the storage device within an optimal write capacity of the storage device, A being C-D,
‘B’ represents the size of the buffered data,
‘C’ represents the optimal write capacity,
‘D’ represents the size of data that is previously flushed from the buffer into the storage device within the optimal write capacity, D being E mod C, and
‘E’ represents a size of data that is previously flushed from the buffer into the storage device, and

A≤F≤B while A≤B, where ‘F’ represents the size of the part  [Equation 2].
