Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a semiconductor memory device and a control device. The memory system includes a first device and first channels. The first channels are each connected to one or more second devices. The control device is connected to the first device via a second channel. The control device includes first circuits and a second circuit. The first circuits each execute data transfer to the second device as an access destination. The second circuit is provided between the first circuits and the second channel. The second circuit combines data from the first circuits and transfers the combined data to the second channel at a transfer rate higher than that of pre-combining data. The second circuit divides data received via the second channel and distributes pieces of divided data to the first circuits at a transfer rate lower than that of pre-dividing data.
