Abstract:
1. A memory system having hybrid density memory, comprising: a plurality of memory storage spaces having a first memory space wherein each of the memory storage spaces includes a plurality of blocks having a first block, and is associated with an endurance count indicating a maximum number of erasable times for content of each block of the memory storage space to be erased; and a plurality of preset weighting factors, wherein each of the weighting factors is associated with the corresponding memory storage space and the corresponding endurance count thereof; wherein, when data stored in the first block of the first memory storage space is erased, an erase count of the first block increases based on the weighting factor associated with the first memory storage space having the first block; wherein a ratio between the weighting factors is inversely proportional to a ratio between the endurance counts associated with the weighing factors.
