The user interface 40 is provided with a function receiving a user demand issued from a processor and holding together plural demands to be executed. Further, the user interface is also provided with the function controlling the priority of the demand to be executed. The operation on the flash array such as programming and erasing or the like is executed with the array controller 50. A array controller 40 is a general processor having a program memory programmable by the user.
