An optical disk drive includes a non-volatile memory. The optical disk drive is booted based on driving information stored in the non-volatile memory. When a write command is received from a host, the optical disk drive stores data to be recorded in an optical medium in the non-volatile memory and then writes the data in the optical medium independent of the host.

Optical disk drive including non-volatile memory and method of operating the same

A method of operating a non-volatile memory can include backing-up first data successfully programmed to a first target page of a non-volatile memory to provide local back-up data. A determination can be made that programming of second data to the first target page has failed and the local back-up data can be programmed to a second target page in a second block of the non-volatile memory.
