Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A data accessing method, and a storage system and a controller using the same are provided. The data accessing method is suitable for a flash memory storage system having a data perturbation module. The data accessing method includes receiving a read command from a host and obtaining a logical block to be read and a page to be read from the read command. The data accessing method also includes determining whether a physical block in a data area corresponding to the logical block to be read is a new block and transmitting a predetermined data to the host when the physical block corresponding to the logical block to be read is a new block. Thereby, the host is prevented from reading garbled code from the flash memory storage system having the data perturbation module.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A data accessing method, for a flash memory storage device having a data perturbation module, wherein a flash memory of the flash memory storage device has a plurality of blocks, the data accessing method comprising: receiving a read command from a host, wherein the read command indicates reading data from a logical block and the logical block has not been written with data after a card activation process; and transmitting a predetermined data to the host…
