Abstract:
A method for managing a memory apparatus comprising a plurality of NV memory elements is disclosed. The method includes providing a physical block of each NV memory element with a local page address linking table by obtaining a first host address and first data from a first host command, and obtaining a second host address and second data from a second host command; linking the first host address to a first page of the physical block; and linking the second host address to a second page of the physical block. A global page address linking table is built by reading the local page address linking tables and stored in a volatile memory. For the local page address linking table, a difference value of the first host address and the second host address is greater than a number of pages of the physical block.
