Abstract
An efficient control technology for non-volatile memory is shown. A controller selects the main source block from the non-volatile memory, wherein the main source block has a logical group amount exceeding a threshold amount. The controller selects a target logical group from the main source block, and collects data of the target logical group to a destination block provided by the non-volatile memory to reduce the logical group amount of the main source block.
