Abstract
A method for testing a reliability of a solid-state storage medium is provided, wherein the solid-state storage medium has a plurality of blocks. First, a lifetime of each of the blocks of the solid-state storage medium is obtained. Then, an erase count of each of the blocks is obtained, and whether the erase count is greater than a predetermined erase count is determined. After that, those blocks having their erase counts greater than the predetermined erase count are accumulated to generate a problematic block number, and a test report is output.
