Abstract
A memory system includes a non-volatile memory, a buffer memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to write data corresponding to a write command received from a host in the buffer memory, and based on an indication from the host, do not write the data stored in the buffer memory into the non-volatile memory unless a non-volatilization event occurs, the non-volatilization event being one of a flush request from the host and a detection of a power shutdown.
