Abstract:
An apparatus configured to write, in a non-volatile memory, an address conversion table for wear leveling of the non-volatile memory includes a holding unit configured to hold a first address conversion table for wear leveling of a first block of the non-volatile memory, a second address conversion table for wear leveling of a second block other than the first block of the non-volatile memory, and a third address conversion table for wear leveling of a third block other than the first block of the non-volatile memory; and a writing unit configured to write, in the first block, a replication of the second address conversion table in addition to one replication of the first address conversion table and to write, in the third block, another replication of the first address conversion table in addition to a replication of the third address conversion table.
