    摘要: A memory system includes a volatile first storing unit, a nonvolatile second storing unit, and a controller. The controller performs data transfer, stores management information including a storage position of the data stored in the second storing unit into the first storing unit, and performs data management while updating the management information. The second storing unit has a management information storage area for storing management information storage information including management information in a latest state and a storage position of the management information. The storage position information is read by the controller during a startup operation of the memory system and includes a second pointer indicating a storage position of management information in a latest state in the management information storage area and a first pointer indicating a storage position of the second pointer. The first pointer is stored in a fixed area in the second storing unit and the second pointer is stored in an area excluding the fixed area in the second storing unit.

    摘要: A controller determines whether data stored in a first storing area should be flushed to a second storing area or a third storing area. When flushing of data in a track unit from at least one of the first storing area and the second storing area unit to the third storing area unit is determined, the controller collects data included in the flushed data in the track unit from at least one of the first storing area and the second storing area including the storing area from which the flushing of the data is determined, merges the flushed data and the collected data, and writes the merged data in the third storing area.

    摘要: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory including a plurality of blocks, a volatile memory storing management information including a storage position of data stored in the nonvolatile memory, a management information writing unit, and a management information storing unit. The management information writing unit is configured to update, when the storage position of data is changed in the nonvolatile memory, the management information stored in the volatile memory. The management information storing unit is configured to, before writing data to the nonvolatile memory, store a first log including an update schedule of the management information in the nonvolatile memory and, after writing data to the nonvolatile memory, store a second log including an update result of the management information in the nonvolatile memory, wherein the management information storing unit is configured to store the first log and the second log in the same-numbered page of the different two blocks.

    摘要: A memory system includes a volatile first storing unit, a nonvolatile second storing unit, and a controller. The controller stores management information of data stored in the second storing unit during a startup operation into the first storing unit and performs data management while updating the management information. The management information in a latest state stored into the first storing unit is also stored in the second storing unit. The management information includes a pre-log before and after change generated before a change occurs in the management information and a post-log, which is generated after the change occurs in the management information, concerning the change in the management information. The pre-log and the post-log are stored in the same areas of different blocks.

    摘要: A method of controlling a nonvolatile semiconductor memory including a plurality of blocks, each one of the plurality of blocks being a unit of data erasing, includes determining a monitored block as a candidate for refresh operation from among the plurality of blocks based on a predetermined condition. The method includes monitoring an error count of data stored in the monitored block and not monitoring an error count of data stored in blocks excluding the monitored block among the plurality of blocks. The method also includes performing the refresh operation on data stored in the monitored block in which the error count is larger than a first threshold value.
