Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a memory system is configured to operate as one of semiconductor storage devices in a storage array. The memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller executes a write operation of writing data, received from a host, to the nonvolatile memory, and an internal operation for managing the memory system. When starting the internal operation, the controller estimates a value related to an amount of reduction in performance of the write operation due to the start of the internal operation, based on content of the started internal operation, and notifies the host or one or more other semiconductor storage devices of the estimated value.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for controlling a storage array that includes a plurality of memory systems including a first memory system and a second memory system, the method comprising:\n executing a write operation for writing data, received from a host, to a nonvolatile memory in the first memory system; executing an internal operation for managing the first memory system; estimating one of (i) a reduced write throughput obtained after write throughput of the first memory system has reduced due to a start of the internal operation, and (ii) an amount of reduction in the write throughput due to the start of the internal operation, when the internal operation is started; and notifying the second memory system of the estimated reduced write throughput or the estimated amount of reduction in the write throughput.
