According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes a queuing buffer, a read module, a separating module, a write command issuing module, and a write module. The write command issuing module is configured to add a write address indicated by write pointer information to the management data obtained by the separating module in order to issue a write command, and to automatically queue the write command into the queuing buffer. The write module is configured to supply the write command issued by the write command issuing module to the nonvolatile memory in order to write data into the nonvolatile memory.
