A memory system includes: a first nonvolatile memory; a second volatile memory; a controller; a power control circuit configured to perform control such that a first voltage is applied to the first memory, the second memory, and the controller based on first power supplied from an external power supply; and a power storage device configured to supply second power to the power control circuit while the first power from the external power supply is interrupted. While the first power supplied from outside is interrupted, the power control circuit applies a second voltage based on the second power supplied from the power storage device to the first memory, the second memory, and the controller. The power control circuit stops the application of the second voltage to the second memory after the data is read from the second memory and before the data is written into the first memory.
