Abstract
An overclocking process for a data storage device using a flash memory. A controller for the flash memory tests the flash memory using test clocks with various frequencies to determine at least one clock signal suitable to the flash memory. The clock candidates suitable to the flash memory are selected from the test clocks. The flash memory is operated in a variable-frequency manner by which the flash memory is switched between the clock candidates, such that electromagnetic interference is spread over different bands.
