A shared memory is initially set in the solid state module. A command for accessing information is received. The translation time of the flash translation layer is measured. The translation time is compared to a predetermined time. Dynamic storing of the flash translation layer is initialized. And, the flash translation layer is moved to the shared memory to increase efficiency.

Method for dynamically storing a flash translation layer of a solid state disk module

A method for dynamically establishing a transition layer of a solid state disk (SSD). When a SSD is activated, the storage mode of the logical to physical (L2P) table is dynamically selected according to the state in the buffer memory of the SSD and the comparison between the capacity of the buffer memory and that of the L2P table. The establishing position of a flash translation layer (FTL) is suitably adjusted according to the selected storage mode such that the lifespan of the SSD can be prolonged.

Method for dynamically establishing translation layer of solid state disk

A writing method for SSD (SSD) is disclosed. When processing a write data request from an internal of the SSD, whether both the source physical address and the destination physical address of the write data are in a healthy state is checked; the destination physical address corresponding to the logical address of the write data is registered to the flash transmit layer (FTL); the write data stored in the source is directly written to the destination physical address to accelerate the write speed.
