Abstract

A flash translation layer table rebuilding method for a solid state drive is provided. The solid state drive includes a non-volatile memory and a buffering circuit. Firstly, a flash translation layer table is loaded from the non-volatile memory to the buffering circuit. In case that an abnormal shutdown event occurs, plural blocks of the non-volatile memory to be read are determined according to a specified block programming serial number of the flash translation layer table. Then, a read sequence of reading the plural blocks is determined according to a block programming serial number or an auxiliary serial number corresponding to the block. The contents of the blocks are read according to the read sequence. A mapping relationship between plural physical allocation addresses and plural logical block addresses of the flash translation layer table is updated.
