Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus, a method, and a non-transitory computer program product for programming flash administration tables. The non-transitory computer program product includes program code to: periodically determine whether user data that has been programmed into a current block of a flash module satisfies a random-write condition; and update a record of a host-to-flash (H2F) sub-table according to content of a flash-to-host (F2H) table for the current block when user data that has been programmed into the current block of the flash module satisfies the random-write condition.
