Abstract
A method for performing enhanced data protection of a memory device with aid of in-channel coding and associated apparatus are provided, where the memory device may include a memory controller and a non-volatile (NV) memory, and undergo a reflow process for mounting the memory device onto a PCB of a host device within an electronic device. The method may include: during a system level initialization of the electronic device, utilizing the memory controller to start performing expansion-to-non-expansion storage format conversion on preloaded data in the NV memory, wherein the preloaded data has been preloaded into the NV memory in a first storage format, for inserting extra parity information obtained from the in-channel coding among multiple data chunks; and during the expansion-to-non-expansion storage format conversion, converting the preloaded data from the first storage format into a second storage format, for collecting the multiple data chunks and releasing partial storage space.
