In a system and method of enhancing data reliability, a reference value associated with error count is obtained, and an error count of data stored in a buffer is obtained whenever an event is triggered. An accumulated value associated with error counts is acquired when the recorded error count is greater than an error threshold value. System slowdown is performed when the accumulated value is greater than a predetermined value.

System and method of enhancing data reliability

By assigning a slave unit and at least one master unit in a buffer controller, clocks of the at least one master unit can be unified with a clock of the slave unit. A buffer status array is assigned for the slave unit in a buffer, and either a range status array or a queue status array is assigned for the master unit in the buffer for performing operations of the buffer controller in an accessing-by-block manner or in an accessing-by-spaced-interval manner. The master unit cooperated with the slave unit is determined from the at least one master unit by using a starvation-preventing algorithm.

Buffer managing method and buffer controller thereof

A method for protecting memory proprietary command is provided. By using the logic block area (LBA) address in the header of the LBA mode, the device end can determine whether the data sector in the LBA mode includes a proprietary command. Also, by using the pre-defined computation function to establish a relation among the values stored in a plurality of characteristic point addresses and a specific point address so that he device end can determine whether a proprietary command is received. As the operating system will not filter out the proprietary command wrapped in this manner, the proprietary command can pass the operating system and be executed by the device end.
