Abstract
A reliability control technology for non-volatile memory is shown. A non-volatile memory has a plurality of blocks. For each block, the processor records a time stamp about programming of at least one page in the block. The processor performs a reliability check on the target block that corresponds to a time stamp exceeding a critical time limit and, if the reliability check shows that the target block does not meet a reliability standard, the processor moves data from the target block to a spare space for safe migration.
