  • Patent number: 8065468
    Abstract: A data storing method for non-volatile memory is provided, wherein the non-volatile memory includes at least one memory block having a plurality of strong pages and weak pages. A logic block writing command is received for storing the corresponding writing data into the memory block. It is then determined whether the writing data is larger than one page. The writing data is divided into a plurality of page data according to the memory size of the page when the writing data is larger than one page. Next, a first storing page for each page data is determined according to a starting writing page according to the logic block writing command. And, the page data are sequentially written into the first storing pages. Note that each first storing page is a strong page within the memory block.
