Abstract

A method for improving access performance of a non-volatile storage device when programming data of a size smaller than a fixed minimum program number (FMPN) is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: predetermining a size of a blank data section for combining with a first data section and a second data section, the total size of the first data section, the second data section and the blank data section equals the FMPN; reading out data located at the second data section; updating a new data to the first data section; combining the new data with the data at the second data section; and incorporating the combined data with the blank data of the blank data section to become a final data, and programming the final data.
