    摘要: A memory system includes a management-information restoring unit. The management-information restoring unit determines whether a short break has occurred referring to a pre-log or a post-log in a NAND memory. The management-information restoring unit determines that a short break has occurred when the pre-log or the post-log is present in the NAND memory. In that case, the management-information restoring unit determines timing of occurrence of the short break, and, after selecting a pre-log or a post-log used for restoration, performs restoration of the management information reflecting these logs on a snapshot. Thereafter, the management-information restoring unit applies recovery processing to all write-once blocks in the NAND memory, takes the snapshot again, and opens the snapshot and the logs in the past.

    摘要: A method of controlling a nonvolatile semiconductor memory includes checking a first group at a first interval period, the first group including a plurality of blocks, and when a first block in the first group satisfies a first condition, assigning the first block to a second group. The method includes checking, at a second interval period, an error count of data stored in the second group, and when a second block in the second group satisfies a second condition, moving data stored in the second block to an erased block in which stored data is erased among the plurality of blocks.

    摘要: A controller includes an identification information management table that manages identification information indicating, for each of addresses in second-management unit, whether one or more data in first management unit belonging to the addresses is stored in the second or the third storing area. When the controller executes a process of flushing data from the first storing area to the second storing area or the third storing area, the controller updates the identification information in the identification information management table. The controller executes a process of reading data from the second storing area or the third storing area by referring to the identification information. As a result, the speed of searches conducted in the management table is increased.
