Abstract
A control method for the memory system is suitable for a memory system to process the user data from a host. The control unit divides the address of the storage space of the host into a plurality of logical segments for accessing data. The memory system provides a storage space with a plurality of physical segments to access data. The control method comprises the following steps. Firstly, a master table is provided in the physical memory for recording the mapping relation between the addresses of the logical units and the addresses of the physical units. When the data is written, the mapping relation between the addresses of the logical units and the addresses of the physical units is adjusted according to the wear of the physical units. Finally, the data is written into the physical segment according to the master table.
