A mobile electronic device including an interface unit, a semiconductor storage device and a processor is provided. The interface unit provides a user interface to receive a user input. The semiconductor storage device includes a controller and a non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory is coupled to the controller and includes a plurality of memory blocks. The processor is coupled to the interface unit and the semiconductor storage device. The processor sends a signal to the semiconductor storage device in response to the user input. The controller clears at least one of the memory blocks in response to the signal.

Mobile electronic device and method for clearing memory blocks based on processor determination of physical block to erase in response to GUI input from user specified time and directing controller to erase within the specified time

A storage device, an electronic device, and a corresponding method for programming a memory are provided. The memory includes a plurality of cells. Each of the cells stores a plurality of bits. The bits of the memory are arranged into a plurality of pages of the memory. The method includes the following steps: receiving a host command for programming data into a first page of the memory; and performing 2Plane programming to program the data into the first page and backups the data into a second page of the memory when the first page does not consist of the most significant bits (MSBs) of the cells. The first page and the second page are located in different planes of the memory.
