Abstract
An embodiment of a method for accessing a storage unit of a flash memory, performed by an arbiter, includes at least the following steps. After transmitting data to first storage units each connected to one of storage-unit access interfaces in a first batch, the arbiter issues a data write command to each first storage unit, thereby enabling each first storage unit to start a physical data programming. During the physical data programming of each first storage unit, data is transmitted to second storage units each connected to one of the storage-unit access interfaces in a second batch.
