Abstract

A failure mode detection method is provided. A first default read voltage is changed to a first read retry voltage by a first increment, and a second default read voltage is changed to a second read retry voltage by a second increment. A memory cell array of a solid state storage device is successfully read according to the first and second read retry voltages. If an absolute value of the first increment minus an absolute value of the second increment is larger than a predetermined voltage value, the memory cell array is in a data retention failure mode. If the absolute value of the first increment minus the absolute value of the second increment is smaller than the predetermined voltage value, the memory cell array is in a low temperature write high temperature read failure mode.
