US Patent 10204003 Memory device and storage apparatus

A failure region is specified when a failure occurs in a non-volatile semiconductor memory. When a device controller reads data stored in a specific page in a plurality of non-volatile semiconductor memories to detect an uncorrectable error (UE) of the data stored in the specific page, the device controller executes a diagnosis process including specifying a specific storage circuit that is a storage circuit including the specific page, reading data stored in a part of blocks of the specific storage circuit, and specifying, on the basis of a result of reading data stored in the block, a failure region in the specific storage circuit.
