Abstract
Provided are a data management apparatus and method used for a flash memory, which can guarantee predetermined response time by expecting when a user will receive a response to his or her request for performing a data operation on the flash memory. The data management apparatus includes an operation determination unit which determines operations required for performing a data operation on a flash memory, the data operation being requested by a user using a user program, an operation registration unit with which an operation list including the operations determined to be required for performing the requested data operation on the flash memory is registered, and an operation processing unit which selects one of the operations included in the operation list registered with the operation registration unit and performs the selected operation.
