Abstract
A method for managing a memory apparatus including a plurality of non-volatile (NV) memory elements includes: programming a physical block of a specific NV memory element, including: receiving a host command from a host; obtaining a host address and data from the host command; and linking the host address to a page of a physical block of the specific NV memory element and storing the data into the physical block. Before the pages of the physical block are fully programmed, a temporary local page linking address table is stored and is updated each time a linking relationship is changed. When the memory apparatus is to be shut down, the temporary local page linking address table is written to the specific NV memory element; and when the memory apparatus begins a start-up process, a global page address linking table is built by reading the local page address linking table.
