Abstract

A flash memory storage device for boosting efficiency in accessing flash memory is disclosed. The flash memory storage device provides a Multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory for storing data, a single-level cell (SLC) flash memory for storing data, and a control unit for determining whether to store a file into the MLC NAND flash memory or a SLC NAND flash memory based on the file's data characteristics.
