in a second write operation, select a second memory chip from the plurality of memory chips on the basis of the first information;
write second data to the selected second memory chip, the second data being data that carries out an error correction process over a plurality of pieces of data read from the plurality of memory chips, respectively,
wherein the first memory chip has a higher data reading speed than the second memory chip.
2. The memory system of claim 1 , wherein the controller further includes a measurement circuit configured to measure the data reading speeds.
3. The memory system of claim 2 , wherein the measurement circuit is configured to measure a period in which a ready/busy signal received from each of the plurality of memory chips is in a busy state.
4. The memory system of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes a ranking of data reading speeds for the plurality of memory chips.
5. The memory system of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes a ranking of data reading speeds for a plurality of data blocks for one or more of the plurality of memory chips.
6. The memory system of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes a ranking of data reading speeds for a plurality of word lines for the plurality of memory chips.
7. The memory system of claim 1 , wherein the data reading speed information of the plurality of memory chips is measured at a time of manufacturing the memory system.
8. The memory system of claim 1 , wherein the data reading speed information of the plurality of memory chips is determined on the basis of design information of the plurality of memory chips.
9. A memory system comprising:
a plurality of memory chips connected to a bus; and
a controller connected to the bus and is configured to:
in a first write operation, select a first memory chip from a plurality of memory chips on the basis of first information including bit error rate information of the plurality of memory chips;
write first data to the selected first memory chip, the first data being data that converts a logical address received from an external device into at least one physical address assigned to the plurality of memory chips;
in a second write operation, select a second memory chip from the plurality of memory chips on the basis of the first information; and
write second data to the selected second memory chip, the second data being data that carries out an error correction process over a plurality of pieces of data read from the plurality of memory chips, respectively,
wherein the first memory chip has a lower bit error rate than the second memory chip.
10. The memory system of claim 9 ,
wherein the controller is further configured to measure the at least one bit error rate by executing an error correction process of data read from the plurality of memory chips.
11. A memory system comprising:
a plurality of memory chips connected to a bus; and
a controller connected to the bus and configured to:
in a first write operation, select a first memory chip from a plurality of memory chips on the basis of first information including data writing speed information indicating writing speeds of the plurality of memory chips;
write first data to the selected first memory chip, the first data being data that converts a logical address received from an external device into at least one physical address assigned to the plurality of memory chips;
in a second write operation, select a second memory chip from the plurality of memory chips on the basis of the first information; and
write second data to the selected second memory chip, the second data being data that carries out an error correction process over a plurality of pieces of data read from the plurality of memory chips, respectively,
wherein the first memory chip has a higher data writing speed than the second memory chip.
12. The memory system of claim 11 , wherein the controller further includes a measurement circuit configured to measure the data writing speeds.
13. The memory system of claim 12 , wherein the measurement circuit is configured to measure a period in which a ready/busy signal received from each of the plurality of memory chips is in a busy state.
14. The memory system of claim 11 , wherein the first information includes a ranking of data writing speeds of the plurality of memory chips.
15. The memory system of claim 11 , wherein the first information includes a ranking of data writing speeds of a plurality of data blocks of one or more of the plurality of memory chips.
16. The memory system of claim 11 , wherein the first information includes a ranking of data writing speeds of a plurality of word lines of the plurality of memory chips.
17. The memory system of claim 11 , wherein the data writing speed information of the plurality of memory chips is measured at a time of manufacturing the memory system.
18. The memory system of claim 11 , wherein the data writing speed information of the plurality of memory chips is determined on the basis of design information of the plurality of memory chips.
