Abstract
A memory system includes a memory area. A controller controls data. A first connector inputs the data and/or outputs the data, and is removable from the host. A first holding part is electrically disconnected from the memory area and the first connector and including a first port, and holds identification information used to authenticate an authority to initialize the memory area. The first port outputs the identification information to the host when receiving, from the host, an initialization command that instructs initialization of at least the part of the memory area. The controller includes a second port and an authentication part. The second port receives the initialization command from the host and receives the identification information via the first port. The authentication part executes initialization of at least the part of the memory area based on the initialization command and the identification information received at the second port.
