  • Patent number: 11579795
    Abstract: A control method for a solid state drive is provided. The solid state drive includes a non-volatile memory with plural blocks. In a step (a1), a block is opened. In a step (a2), a program action is performed to store a valid write data into the open block. Then, a step (a3) is performed to judge whether an amount of the valid write data in the open block reaches a predetermined capacity. In a step (a4), if the amount of the valid write data in the open block does not reach the predetermined capacity, the step (a2) is performed again. In a step (a5), if the amount of the valid write data in the open block reaches the predetermined capacity, the open block is closed and the step (a1) is performed again. The predetermined capacity is lower than a capacity of one block.
