1. A method of operating a storage device, the method comprising:
receiving a clock signal corresponding to a plurality of data bits and an acknowledgement (ACK) signal from a host device through a clock line during a read operation;
outputting a data signal including the plurality of data bits from the storage device through a data line during the read operation;
generating an interrupt signal when the clock signal is at a low level before outputting the last data bit from among the plurality of data bits;
transmitting the interrupt signal to the host device through the data line; and
receiving a not-acknowledgment (NACK) signal from the host device through the data line in response to the interrupt signal when there is clock loss of the clock signal.
