| 20100332951 | METHOD FOR PERFORMING COPY BACK OPERATIONS AND FLASH STORAGE DEVICE - The invention provides a method for performing copy back operations. First, a copy back command is sent to a flash memory for reading a first error correction code (ECC) data from a first address. The first ECC data is then received from the flash memory. The first ECC data is then decoded without performing error correction to calculate a fail count of the first ECC data. The fail count is then compared with a first threshold value. When the fail count is less than the first threshold value, a first program command is sent to the flash memory for storing the first ECC data to a second address of the flash memory. When the fail count is less than the first threshold value, the first ECC data is not sent back to the flash memory. | 12-30-2010 |
