    摘要: A memory system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a volatile first storing unit, a nonvolatile second storing unit, a controller that transfers data between a host apparatus and the second storing unit via the first storing unit. The memory system monitors whether data written from the host apparatus in the first storing unit has a specific pattern in management units. When data to be flushed to the second storing unit has the specific pattern, the memory system set an invalid address value that is not in use in the second storing unit to the data.

    摘要: According to an embodiment, a memory system includes semiconductor memories each having a plurality of blocks; a first table; a receiving unit; a generating unit; a second table; and a writing unit. The first table includes a plurality of memory areas each associated with each block and in each of which defect information is stored. The generating unit generates a set of blocks by selecting one block to which data are to be written in each semiconductor memory based on an index number indicating one of a plurality of rows in the first table and the first table. In the second table, an index number and a channel number are stored for each logical block address in association with one another. When a write command is received by the receiving unit, the writing unit writes data to a block associated with a selected channel number among blocks constituting the set.

    摘要: According to an embodiment of a controller, a bit string manipulating unit manipulates a bit string of manipulation target data based on a predetermined rule. A special data setting unit generates a magic number based on a special data setting request from a host interface, obtains an error detecting code for the magic number, and sends the magic number and the error detecting code as manipulation target data to the bit string manipulating unit to obtain a manipulated manipulation target data. The special data setting unit also extracts logical block address information from the special data setting request, and instructs an access unit to write the magic number in the manipulated manipulation target data to a user data storage area and to write the error detecting code in the manipulated manipulation target data to a redundant area in a storage area located by the logical block address information.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, upon request from an information processor, a semiconductor storage controller writes pieces of data in predetermined units into storage locations in which no data has been written in erased areas within a semiconductor chip's storage area. A third table and a second table which is a subset thereof include physical addresses each indicating a storage location of each of pieces of the data within the semiconductor chip. The first table includes either information specifying a second table entry or information specifying a third table entry. The semiconductor storage controller records the first and the second tables into a volatile memory or records the first table into a volatile memory and the third table into a nonvolatile memory.

    摘要: When data in one semiconductor memory device is corrupted during a padding process by a padding unit and the data cannot be recovered even by using an error correcting code for correcting a data error, a storage control device issues a data recovery request to a data recovery device. The data recovery device reads the data from other semiconductor memory device in response to the data recovery request to recover the data, and returns a recovery result to the padding unit in the storage control device to perform the padding process.

    摘要: A size storage unit stores therein a block size of a memory element. A buffering unit executes buffer processing configured to store data received from a RAID (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive/Independent Disks) controller into a buffer, and to write the data stored in the buffer into the memory element. A stripe-size receiving unit receives a stripe size that indicates a size of a unit of access at time of access to the memory element by the RAID controller. Writing processing is configured to write data received from the RAID controller into the memory element without executing the buffer processing by the buffering unit, when the stripe size is n times of the block size (n is a positive integer).
