Claim 9:
10. A method of controlling a nonvolatile memory, comprising:
calculating first time by subtracting second time from third time, the third time being designated by a host as a time limit of transmission of a first response since reception of a first write request, the second time corresponding to time when data becomes readable from the nonvolatile memory after a write process of the data to the nonvolatile memory is started;
in response to receiving the first write request associated with first data from the host, the first data having a size less than a first data unit that is a write unit to the nonvolatile memory, starting to measure a time period;
in response to the measured time period reaching the first time, starting the write process of second data to the nonvolatile memory, the second data including at least the first data; and
transmitting the first response to the first write request to the host in response to completion of the write process of the second data.
