Abstract
The invention relates to a method and arrangement for processing transactions in a flash type memory device, wherein the transaction is a data update and/or changing operation consisting of one or more suboperations, all of which must be successfully executed in order to regard the discussed transaction as having been successfully completed in its entirety. In the solution according to the invention, memory-block specific status information () of a memory block present in a flash type memory device is utilized not only for managing payload data () present in the memory block but also for the management of an entire transaction. Consequently, there is no need for a separate status bookkeeping of transactions, thus reducing the number of reading and writing operations required in transactions.
