An apparatus for managing a memory including a working region and a compression region is provided. The working region stores uncompressed data. The apparatus includes a management module and a compression/decompression module. According to a recent used index and a compression ratio of a set of target data stored in the working region, the management module determines whether to transfer the target data to the compression region. When the management module determines to transfer the target data to the compression region, the compression/decompression module compresses the target data and transfers the compressed target data to the compression region.
