Abstract:
A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller. The memory device includes multiple memory blocks. The memory blocks include single-level cell blocks and multiple-level cell blocks. The controller is coupled to the memory device. When the controller executes a predetermined procedure to write data stored in the single-level cell blocks into the multiple-level cell blocks, the controller is configured to determine whether a valid page count corresponding to each single-level cell block is greater than a threshold, and when the valid page count corresponding to more than one single-level cell block is greater than the threshold, the controller is configured to execute a first merge procedure to directly write the data stored in the single-level cell blocks with the valid page count greater than the threshold into one or more of the multiple-level cell blocks.

Claim (Index 3):
The data storage device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein when the controller determines that the valid page count corresponding to one single-level cell block is not greater than the threshold, the controller is configured to execute a second merge procedure, wherein in the second merge procedure, the controller is configured to determine whether data stored in physical pages of an single-level cell block is all valid, and when the data stored in one physical page of the single-level cell block is not all valid, the controller is configured to read valid data of valid page(s) of the single-level cell block and store the valid data of the valid page(s) in a buffer, and when the amount of valid data that can be written to a multiple-level cell block has been collected in the buffer, the valid data is written into one of the multiple-level cell blocks.
