Abstract: A data merging method can copy a new logical to physical mapping table and update a copied logical to physical mapping table according to a physical address of a recycling unit expected to be written at the same time. In this way, the number of times that the same logic to physical mapping table is read multiple times during the data merging operation can be reduced to improve the execution efficiency of the data merging operation, thereby increasing the system performance of the memory storage device.
