A block management method for managing a mapping relationship between a plurality of logical blocks and a plurality of physical blocks of a flash memory is provided. The block management method includes: grouping the logical blocks into a plurality of logical zones; recording the mapping relationship between each logical block in each logical zone and all the data physical blocks among the physical blocks in a corresponding logical zone table in unit of the logical zones; and recording all the no-data physical blocks among the physical blocks with a single no-data physical block table. Thereby, the logical blocks can be mapped to all the physical blocks so that frequent access to specific physical blocks can be avoided when a user writes data into a specific logical zone frequently, and accordingly the lifespan of the flash memory can be prolonged. |
