Abstract
A data programming method for a solid state drive is provided. The solid state drive has a flash memory with plural blocks. If a garbage collection is determined to be performed, a first open block is selected from the plural blocks of the flash memory for storing a moved valid data corresponding to the garbage collection. Then, the moved valid data corresponding to the garbage collection is programmed into the first open block. A second open block is selected from the plural blocks of the flash memory for storing a write data from a host.
