Abstract: According to one embodiment, a controller, in response to receiving, from a host, a first command requesting secure erase of secure erase target data associated with a first logical area identifier, stores a copy of first mapping information that corresponds to the first logical area identifier, among mapping information that is included in a first table. The controller executes at least a data erase operation for one or more first blocks storing the secure erase target data. In a first mode, the controller, in response to receiving, from the host, a read command that specifies the first logical area identifier, reads data from a storage location corresponding to a first physical address that is mapped to the first logical area identifier in the copy of the first mapping information.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a controller of a memory system reorders a plurality of first write commands in an order in which writing within a first zone is executed sequentially from a next write location within the first zone. The controller transfers a plurality of write data associated with the plurality of first write commands reordered from a write buffer of a host to an internal buffer in a same order as the order of the plurality of first write commands reordered, and writes the plurality of write data transferred to the internal buffer to a first storage region managed as the first zone.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing system includes a host and memory systems. A first memory system stores first data in a nonvolatile memory. A second memory system stores second data in a nonvolatile memory. The host transmits first update data to the first memory system and transmits second update data to the second memory system. The first memory system generates first XOR data by performing an XOR operation on at least the first data and the first update data, and transmits the first XOR data to the second memory system. The second memory system generates second XOR data by performing an XOR operation on the second data, the second update data, and the first XOR data, and transmits the second XOR data to a third memory system.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a nonvolatile memory and a CPU. The CPU stores first data in the nonvolatile memory, performs a first transmission of a write request associated with the first data to the memory system, and stores management data including information equivalent to the write request in the nonvolatile memory. In response to receiving a first response to the write request transmitted in the first transmission, the CPU adds, to the management data, information indicating that the first response has been received. The CPU deletes the first data and the management data in response to receiving a second response to the write request transmitted in the first transmission after receiving the first response.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a nonvolatile memory and a CPU. The CPU stores, to the nonvolatile memory, first data, and management data including information equivalent to a write command associated with the first data and designating a first LBA range, and performs a first transmission of the write command to a memory system. When writing of second data to a second LBA range including a third LBA range that is at least a portion of the first LBA range or deallocation of the second LBA range is requested before a second response to the write command is received, the CPU transmits, to the system, a command to cancel writing to at least the third LBA range from writing of the first data to the first LBA range in accordance with the write command.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory with a plurality of blocks. The minimum unit of a data erasing operation in the memory system is a block. A controller is electrically connected to the non-volatile memory and configured to execute, in response to a first command from a host requesting a secure erase of secure erase target data stored in a first logical area identified by a first logical area identifier, a copy operation copying valid data other than any secure erase target data from one or more first blocks of the plurality in which the secure erase target data is stored to one or more copy destination blocks of the plurality. The controller executes the data erasing operation on the one or more first blocks after the copy operation.
