Abstract
A memory system includes a memory controller and a memory that is nonvolatile. The memory controller divides first information, which correlates a logical address with a physical address of the memory, into multiple pieces of second information, attaches metadata to each of the multiple pieces of second information and stores each piece of second information with the attached metadata, into the memory, when using third information, which is one of the multiple pieces of second information, reads, as multiple pieces of fourth information, pieces of second information including the third information, from among the multiple pieces of second information stored in the memory, selects fifth information, which is different from the third information, from among the read multiple pieces of fourth information based on the metadata attached to each of the multiple pieces of fourth information, and caches the selected fifth information into another memory.
