A storage device includes a non-volatile memory; a volatile memory; and a memory controller configured to control the non-volatile memory and the volatile memory. The memory controller is configured to, in response to a determination that a progressive defect has occurred in at least one memory of the non-volatile memory or the volatile memory during an operation of the storage device, such that the at least one memory is determined to be a defective memory, perform a repair operation on the defective memory based on executing a memory revival firmware.
