Abstract: A solution for deteriorated non-volatile memory is shown. When determining that raw data read from the non-volatile memory is undesirable data, the controller updates a deterioration table to record a deteriorated logical address of the raw data that is the undesirable data. When performing garbage collection from a source block associated with the deteriorated logical address to a destination block and determining that the deteriorated logical address is listed in the deterioration table, the controller invalidates target data stored in the source block and mapped to the deteriorated logical address, without moving the target data from the source block to the destination block in the garbage collection.
