The application provides a method and a memory device for performing wear leveling in a memory device. The method includes: receiving data to be written transmitted by a host in the memory device; predicting the data to be written as a first type of data or a second type of data; referencing an erase count table in an erase count table buffer of the memory device; and when the data to be written is predicted as the first type of data, writing the data to be written into the block with a highest erase count among these blocks, and when the data to be written is predicted as the second type of data, writing the data to be written into the block with a lowest erase count among these blocks.
