Abstract

A memory management method is provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The method includes: receiving a plurality of commands from a host system; counting a newest idle time corresponding to the commands and a past average command-receiving-time-interval corresponding to the commands; and dynamically changing a work mode of a memory storage device from a first work mode to a second work mode if the newest idle time is larger than a first threshold value and the past average command-receiving-time-interval is larger than a second threshold value. Therefore, a power consumption of the memory storage device can be reduced and a work mode of the memory storage device may not be changed too frequently.
