The present invention relates to the field of data storage, and more particularly to an estimation technology in an error correction process of a flash memory. The present invention provides an error estimation module and an error estimation method thereof for a flash memory. The estimation module mainly includes a timer, a quantification index table, a storage page table, and an error index table. The error estimation method of a flash memory includes: creating rewriting and programming error a priori data, and estimating an error rate of the flash memory by using special physical signals in a flash memory device to provide proper error estimation for an error correction algorithm of the flash memory. The present invention is applicable to a solid-state hard disk controller, a flash memory controller, and the like, where the flash memory device is used as a storage medium, so that the reliability of the flash memory device is improved. |
