Abstract
A memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller is configured to perform a write operation of a first data cluster and a first partial overwrite operation of the first data cluster with first overwrite data. The write operation includes compressing and then encrypting the first data cluster, and writing the compressed and encrypted first data cluster into a first physical location of the non-volatile memory. The first partial overwrite operation includes encrypting the first overwrite data without performing compression, reading the compressed and encrypted first data cluster from the first physical location of the non-volatile memory, generating a first composite data cluster with the compressed and encrypted first data cluster read from the first physical location and the encrypted first overwrite data that is not compressed, and writing the first composite data cluster into a second physical location of the non-volatile memory.
