Abstract

A memory module includes: a first memory device that is volatile or non-volatile; a second memory device that is non-volatile; a third memory device that is non-volatile; and a controller that controls the first to third memory devices, wherein a capacity of the second memory device is larger than a capacity of the first memory device, and a capacity of the third memory device is larger than the capacity of the second memory device, a second upper limit value of the number of rewritings of the second memory device is larger than a third upper limit value of the number of rewritings of the third memory device, and a first upper limit value of the number of rewritings of the first memory device is larger than the second upper limit value of the number of rewritings of the second memory device, and the controller accesses the second memory device with reference to a first address translation table related to the second memory device stored in the first memory device, and accesses the third memory device with reference to a second address translation table related to the third memory device stored in the second memory device.
