The method includes receiving a host writing command and write data thereof, and executing the host writing command. The method also includes giving a data program command for writing the write data into one of the physical blocks of the flash memory chip, and giving a command for determining whether data stored in the physical block has any error bit. Accordingly, the method can effectively ensure the correctness of data to be written into the flash memory chip.

    Abstract: A data reading method for a rewritable non-volatile memory module is provided, wherein the rewritable non-volatile memory module has a plurality of physical pages. The data reading method includes grouping the physical pages into a plurality of physical page groups and configuring a corresponding threshold voltage set for each of the physical page groups. The data reading method also includes respectively reading data from the physical pages of the physical page groups by using the corresponding threshold voltage sets. The data reading method further includes when data read from one of the physical pages of one of the physical page groups cannot be corrected by using an error checking and correcting (ECC) circuit, updating the threshold voltage set corresponding to the physical page group.

    Abstract: A storage device, a memory controller, and a data protection method are provided. The method includes when receiving a read command sent by a host, adopting a corresponding output flow rate limit to determine an operation that is executed on read data corresponding to the read command by the host according to location information included in the read command or a type of a transmission interface between the host and the storage device. The method also includes executing an interference procedure by the storage device to prevent the read data from being copied to the host or slow down the speed of copying the read data to the host when identifying that the operation is a copy operation.

    Abstract: A block management method for managing blocks of a flash memory storage device is provided. The flash memory storage device includes a flash memory controller. The block management method includes the following steps. At least a part of the blocks is grouped into a first partition and a second partition. Whether an authentication code exists is determined. When the authentication code exists, the blocks belonging to the first partition are provided for a host system to access, so the host system displays the first partition and hides the second partition. An authentication information is received from the host system. Whether the authentication information and the authentication code are identical is authenticated. When the authentication information and the authentication code are identical, the blocks belonging to the second partition are provided for the host system to access, so the host system displays the second partition and hides the first partition.
