Claim:
1. A method for dynamically establishing a translation layer of a solid state disk (SSD), comprising steps of: activating an SSD; obtaining a memory capacity of a buffer memory; obtaining a memory capacity of a flash memory array to form an estimated capacity required for storing an L2P table; comparing the pre-determined capacity of the buffer memory for storing the L2P table with the estimated capacity required for storing the L2P table; checking whether the pre-determined capacity of the buffer memory for storing the L2P table is not smaller than the estimated capacity required for storing the L2P table, and selecting a full-table storage mode for the establishment of a flash translation layer (FTL) if it is determined that the pre-determined capacity of the buffer memory for storing the L2P table is not smaller than the estimated capacity required for storing the L2P table.
