Abstract
A method for dynamically establishing a transition layer of a solid state disk (SSD). When a SSD is activated, the storage mode of the logical to physical (L2P) table is dynamically selected according to the state in the buffer memory of the SSD and the comparison between the capacity of the buffer memory and that of the L2P table. The establishing position of a flash translation layer (FTL) is suitably adjusted according to the selected storage mode such that the lifespan of the SSD can be prolonged.
