Abstract
A data write method for writing data is provided. The data writing method is adapted to a memory controller adopting an ECC scheme and includes: encoding the data to generate a codeword; writing the codeword into the memory array according to a first write condition; and performing a verify operation. The step of performing the verify operation includes: reading the codeword from the memory array; comparing the read codeword with the codeword and obtaining an error bit number of the read codeword; decoding the read codeword to generate a decoded data by an ECC decoder; comparing the decoded data with the data; and comparing the error bit number of the read codeword with a pass threshold if the decoded data is identical to the data. If the error bit number of the read codeword is greater than the pass threshold, the data write method further comprises writing the codeword into the memory array according to a second write condition, where the second write condition is different from the first write condition. In addition, a memory storage device using the data write method is also provided.
