Abstract
Fast reuse memory block detection methods and memory block management methods using the same are provided. A fast reuse memory block detection method may include selecting a memory block from memory blocks included in a nonvolatile memory device as a reference block at an initially set period, managing one of an erase time and a program time of the reference block, and determining whether other memory blocks are fast reuse memory blocks, based on a use period that is determined according to the managed one of the erase time and the program time of the reference block.
