Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory controller selects a predetermined memory block to receive data and records multiple logical addresses in a first mapping table. The first mapping table records which logical page the data stored in each physical page of the predetermined memory block is directed to. A bit table is stored in a buffer memory and includes multiple fields. Each field records a bit value. When the memory controller writes data of a logical page that corresponds to a first logical address into the predetermined memory block, the memory controller records the first logical address in the first mapping table, converts the first logical address according to a predetermined function to generate a first field index of the bit table and sets the bit value corresponding to the first field index as a first value in the bit table.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory controller selects a predetermined memory block to receive data and records multiple logical addresses in a first mapping table. When the predetermined memory block is full, the memory controller edits a second mapping table based on the first mapping table. When editing the second mapping table, the memory controller determines whether M consecutive logical addresses have been recorded in the first mapping table. When the memory controller determines that M consecutive logical addresses have been recorded in the first mapping table, the memory controller edits the second mapping table according to a data compression rate (R), such that one or more fields, which correspond to one or more logical addresses recorded in the first mapping table, of the second mapping table are skipped and not edited. M and R are positive integers greater than 1.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory controller selects a predetermined memory block to receive data and accordingly records multiple logical addresses in a first mapping table. When the predetermined memory block is full, the memory controller edits a second mapping table or a third mapping table based on the first mapping table. The memory controller determines whether the first mapping table has recorded logical addresses of a predetermined number of consecutive logical pages. If not, the memory controller edits the second mapping table. If so, the memory controller skips editing the second mapping table and edits the third mapping table instead, so as to record the mapping information of a predetermined logical page among the predetermined number of consecutive logical pages as representative mapping information in a corresponding field of the third mapping table.
