Abstract: An efficient control technology for non-volatile memory is shown. A non-volatile memory provides a storage space that is divided into blocks. When programming the write data issued by the host to the non-volatile memory, the programming order of the blocks is recorded. Garbage collection is based on the recorded programming order. Sequential data can be collected to the destination block in sequence.

Abstract: An efficient control technology for non-volatile memory is shown. A controller selects the main source block from the non-volatile memory, wherein the main source block has a logical group amount exceeding a threshold amount. The controller selects a target logical group from the main source block, and collects data of the target logical group to a destination block provided by the non-volatile memory to reduce the logical group amount of the main source block.

Abstract: Uncorrectable (UNC) marking on a non-volatile memory is provided. In response to a UNC marking command issued by a host, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) engine provides a specific CRC code to mark a logical address segment as uncorrectable, wherein the logical address segment is requested to be marked as uncorrectable by the UNC marking command. As long as the specific CRC code is recognized, a CRC procedure is not required and the data requested by the host is directly determined as uncorrectable.
