Abstract
The present disclosure provides a storage device for accelerating a booting procedure. The storage device includes a non-volatile storage medium, a volatile cache memory and a storage controller. The non-volatile storage medium stores booting data and is configured to output the booting data according to a read instruction. The storage controller is configured to store the booting data to the volatile cache memory by executing the following steps: reading a booting data table including non-physical addresses of the booting data; generating a read instruction according to the booting data table, in which the read instruction indicates the physical addresses of the booting data in the non-volatile storage medium; storing the booting data from the non-volatile storage medium to the volatile cache memory; and associating the non-physical addresses of the booting data with the cache addresses of the booting data in the volatile cache memory.
