Abstract
According to one embodiment, two memory systems each including a memory and a controller are connected via a communication line. The controller includes a testing unit that performs a self-test process on the memory, a communication unit that communicates with the counterpart controller, and a status output unit. The communication unit performs a startup synchronization process which is performed before the self-test process and a termination synchronization process which is performed after the self-test process. The testing unit obtains a comprehensive test result from the test results of the two memory systems, and the status output unit of one memory system outputs the comprehensive test result.
