Abstract

A flash memory apparatus for controlling storage of data comprises a plurality of blocks for storing data and a controller. Each block includes a plurality of pages. The controller receives first target data and identifies a first block to store the first target data. Then, the controller divides the first target data into two parts. A size of a first part is equal to the available capacity of the first block. And a size of a second part is equal to the size of the first target data minus the size of the first part. The controller further determines a second block that has stored data but is not full. At last, the controller writes the first part into the first block and write the second part into the second block.
