The memory system comprises nonvolatile memory devices each including plural superblocks and a controller. The controller is configured to select a victim superblock including a smaller number of valid pages than any among remaining superblocks, exchange a greater-valid-pages block with a smaller-valid-pages block, and control the memory device to perform a garbage collection operation on the victim superblock, wherein the greater-valid-pages block is included in the victim superblock and the smaller-valid-pages block is included in one among the remaining superblocks, and wherein the smaller-valid-pages block has a smaller number of valid pages than the greater-valid-pages block.
