Abstract
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a memory controller. The non-volatile memory includes a plurality of parallel operation elements each including a memory cell. The memory controller is configured to control the plurality of parallel operation elements. In reading data from the non-volatile memory, the memory controller is configured to sequentially instruct the plurality of parallel operation elements to perform a sense operation of sensing data stored in the memory cell included in each of the plurality of parallel operation elements. In a case where an operation period of the sense operation of any one of the plurality of parallel operation elements is expired, the memory controller instructs the one of the plurality of parallel operation elements to perform a transfer operation for the data without checking a status of the one of the plurality of parallel operation elements.
