Abstract
A method for performing data management of a memory device with aid of targeted protection control and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: receiving a first host command from a host device; sending a first operating command to a non-volatile (NV) memory to read first stored data from a first location within the NV memory; monitoring a read count of the first location to determine whether the read count of the first location reaches a read count threshold; monitoring at least one error bit count of other stored data of at least one other location within the NV memory to determine whether the at least one error bit count reaches an error bit count threshold; and starting a targeted protection procedure to process second stored data, for preventing the second stored data from being damaged by at least one reading behavior of the host device.
