Abstract: A flash memory management method is provided. According to the method, when a request to write the predetermined data to a page to which data has been written is made, the predetermined data is written to a log block corresponding to a data block containing the page. When a request to write the predetermined data to the page again is received, the predetermined data is written to an empty free page in the log block. Even if the same page is requested to be continuously written to, the management method allows this to be processed in one log block, thereby improving the effectiveness in the use of flash memory resources.
