Abstract

A memory system including a nonvolatile memory (NVM) device and a controller is provided. The NVM device includes a main region and a spare region. The controller writes write data to a selected row of the main region, determines whether the written row is bad, and writes the write data to a spare address in the spare region and writes the spare address to the bad row, when the written row is determined to be bad.
