Abstract
A memory management method of a storage device including: programming write-requested data in a memory block; counting an elapse time from a time when a last page of the memory block was programmed with the write-requested data; triggering a garbage collection of the storage device when the elapse time exceeds a threshold value; and programming valid data collected by the garbage collection at a first clean page of the memory block.
