Memory systems and mapping methods thereof are provided. In one embodiment of a memory system, an interface device is coupled between a flash memory and a host and stores a flash translation layer. The flash translation layer utilizes a data block mapping table and a page mapping table to manage data blocks and log blocks of the flash memory by a page mapping scheme and utilizes a random write page mapping table independent from the block mapping table and the page mapping table to manage the random write blocks by a random write mapping scheme. When a first predetermined condition is satisfied, the flash translation layer converts one of the data blocks (and one of the log block corresponding to the converted data block if any) into random write block(s) and utilizes the random write mapping schemes to manage the random write block(s). When a second predetermined condition is satisfied, the flash translation layer merges and converts random write block(s) into a data block and utilizes the page mapping scheme to manage the converted random write block(s). |
