Claim 0:
1. A memory system connectable with a host, the host including a host memory and a control circuit, the control circuit being configured to access the host memory in a unit of a first size, the memory system comprising:
a nonvolatile memory; and
a controller capable of communicating with the host and configured to:
when an address designated by the host as a first location of the host memory where read data read from the nonvolatile memory is to be stored is not aligned with a boundary in the host memory defined in a unit of the first size,
transmit, to the host, a first packet which has a second size and includes the read data to be stored from the first location, the second size being smaller than the first size, the second size being from the first location to the boundary; and
transmit, to the host, a second packet which has the first size and includes the read data to be stored from the boundary thereafter.
