Abstract:
The invention introduces a method for garbage collection, performed by a processing unit, including at least the following steps: executing instructions of a GC (garbage collection) process to direct a first access interface to read data from a storage unit, collect good data from the read data and direct the first access interface to program the good data into a spare block of the storage unit. During the GC process, each time that a timer has counted to a time period, the processing unit directs a second access interface to clock a portion of data requested by a host device out to the host device and resets the timer.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 6 , wherein the processing unit uses the second access interface to receive the read command from the host device through USB (Universal Serial Bus), ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment), SATA (Serial ATA) or PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) protocol.
