Abstract
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a memory controller. The non-volatile memory includes a first block that includes first and second sub-blocks. The memory controller instructs the non-volatile memory to execute a data erase process in units of sub-blocks on data stored in the non-volatile memory. In response to a first value corresponding to the first sub-block having reached a first threshold value, the memory controller reads first data from the first sub-block, executes an error correction process on the first data read from the first sub-block, and writes the first data on which the error correction process has been executed into the non-volatile memory.
