Abstract

A solid state drive (SSD) with a hybrid storage mode includes a flash memory, and a data processing module in information communication with the flash memory. The flash memory includes a first storage sector that stores data by a first potential storage mode, and a second storage sector that stores data by a second potential storage mode. The first storage sector corresponds to physical block addresses Pto Pand logical block addresses Lto L. The second storage sector corresponds to physical block addresses Pto Pand logical block addresses Lto L. The data processing module has a data processing mode. In the data processing mode, the data processing module identifies the logical block address included in a command, and executes the command at the corresponding physical block address. Accordingly, an SSD having a high stability and a high data storage capacity is provided.
