Abstract

A data storage device includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory controller is configured to configure a predetermined memory block as an active memory block to receive data from a host device and update content of a sub-region bit table in response to a write operation of the active memory block. The sub-region bit table includes one or more bits, each bit is associated with one or more sub-regions and a value of each bit is initially set to a default value. When data of a first logical address received from the host device is written in the active memory block, the memory controller is configured to determine which sub-region the first logical address belongs to and set the value of the bit associated with the sub-region that the first logical address belongs to to a predetermined value different from the default value.
