Abstract
A method and an apparatus for dynamically configuring the redundant areas of a non-volatile memory is provided wherein each page of a memory is configured into a plurality of data areas and a plurality of redundant areas. The redundant areas interleave the data areas, or are arranged behind any data area. The system information and the status information is programmed into each data area of the page according to the original status information, so as to allow the flash drive to load a data area and an associated redundant area for each access operation with a smaller buffer.
