Abstract
The present disclosure provides a weighting-type data relocation control device for controlling data relocation of a non-volatile memory which includes used blocks and unused blocks. Each used block is associated with a first parameter and a second parameter. The control device executes the following steps: multiplying the first and second parameters by a first and a second weightings respectively to obtain a priority index, in which at least one of the parameters and/or at least one of the weightings relate(s) to a thermal detection result; comparing the priority index with at least a threshold to obtain a comparison result; and if the comparison result corresponding to a used storage block of the used blocks reaches a predetermined threshold, transferring valid data of the used storage block to one of the unused blocks.
