Abstract

A memory management method and a storage controller are provided. The memory management method includes: dividing a plurality of word lines of a first block into a plurality of word line groups and recording a characteristic value for each of the word line groups; accumulating the characteristic values of a second word line group and a third word line group when reading a first word line group, wherein the second word line group and the third word line group are directly adjacent to the first word line group; and reading the second word line group via a first optimal read voltage group when the characteristic value of the second word line group is greater than a first threshold, wherein the first optimal read voltage group is different from a default read voltage group corresponding to the second word line group.
