Abstract
A SSD and a method for reducing use of DRAM in the SSD are disclosed. The method includes the steps of: A. providing a referring table in a DRAM module of a SSD; B. providing a logical-to-physical address table in the DRAM module; C. receiving a command for accessing a target data in a target logical address of the SSD; D. checking if one physical address is stored in the logical-to-physical address table; E. executing the command by using the mapping data in the subgroup or copying a corresponding subgroup including one mapping data for the target logical address from the mapping table to the DRAM module via the referring table; and; and F. adding a target physical address of the DRAM module where the mapping data for the target logical address is stored to the logical-to-physical address table so that the target logical address is able to correspond thereto.
