Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes non-volatile memory and volatile memory. A controller encodes a first unit size data portion to be written into the non-volatile memory and generates a first error correction code for the data portion, then writes the data portion into the non-volatile memory.

The second error correction code is smaller in size than the first error correction code.
