    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory controller configured to replace a memory block including a failed memory cell with a unit cache block of a cache memory in response to detection of the failed memory cell in the memory block. The unit cache block is smaller than a minimum size of a memory cell array capable of being blocked by an operating system, and the unit cache block has substantially the same storage capacity as the memory block.
