1. A memory system comprising:

  • a memory device that includesa memory cell array having a plurality of memory string units including a first memory string unit and a second memory string unit, each of the memory string units including a plurality of memory strings, each memory string having a first transistor, a second transistor, and a plurality of memory cells connected between the first transistor and the second transistor, the plurality of memory cells including a first memory cell and a second memory cell,a first word line connected to gates of the first memory cells in the first and second memory string units,a second word line connected to gates of the second memory cells in the first and second memory string units,a first select gate line connected to the first transistors in the first memory string unit, anda second select gate line connected to the first transistors in the second memory string unit; and

    a controller configured to control an operation of the memory device,wherein during reading from or writing to the first memory string unit, the memory device selects the first select gate line, does not select the second select gate line, and while the first select gate line is selected and the second select gate line is not selected, simultaneously reads from or writes to the first and second memory cells in the memory strings of the first memory string unit.
