Abstract
A method for managing a memory apparatus including at least one non-volatile (NV) memory element including a plurality of physical blocks includes: obtaining a first host address and first data from a received first access command; obtaining a second host address and second data from a received second access command; linking the first host address to at least a first page of the physical block and linking the second host address to at least a second page of the physical block; storing the first data and second data into the physical block; and selectively erasing a portion of the physical block according to a valid/invalid page count of the physical block, the valid/invalid page count corresponding to accessing pages of the physical block. A difference value of the first host address and the second host address is greater than a number of pages of the physical block.
