Abstract: A data storage device using a FLASH memory with replay-protected blocks. The storage space of the FLASH memory is divided into blocks and each block is further divided into pages. A controller is provided in the data storage device to couple to the FLASH memory. The controller manages at least one replay-protected memory block of the FLASH memory. The controller programs a success flag and a write count into a system block of the FLASH memory after the controller programs two pages into the at least one replay-protected memory block of the FLASH memory. The controller may perform a power restoration process based on the success flag of the system block or/and based on the amount of programmed pages of the at least one replay-protected memory block.

Abstract: A data storage device and a Flash memory control method. A data storage device comprises a Flash memory and a controller. The controller controls the Flash memory in accordance with firmware. When the firmware is available for at least a predetermined time period without being requested by a host, the controller, driven according to the firmware, performs a garbage-collection operation on the Flash memory without a request from the host.
