Abstract

The write time is to be shortened in a storage device using memories that require different write times from each other, such as nonvolatile memories.In a memory controller including a plurality of write request holding units and a selection unit, the write request holding units holds a write request with respect to each of a plurality of memory modules that require different write times from one another. The selection unit selects one of the plurality of write request holding units in accordance with memory state information indicating whether each of the plurality of memory modules is in a busy state, and causes outputting of the write request.
