Abstract
A FLASH memory control technique with wear leveling between the different blocks of the FLASH memory. By a controller managing the blocks of a FLASH memory within a data storage device, some of the blocks are pushed into a spare queue waiting to be allocated as data blocks or system blocks. When the number of blocks within the spare queue is lower than a clean threshold and any block within the spare queue has an erase count greater than an overused lower threshold, the controller performs a garbage correction operation with wear leveling between the different blocks.
