    Abstract: A method for performing access management of a memory device with aid of serial number assignment timing control and associated apparatus are provided. The method includes: managing a plurality of spare blocks with a spare pool; popping a first block from the spare pool to be a host data block, and performing first subsequent operations, wherein the host data block is arranged to receive data from a host device, and serial number assignment of the host data block corresponds to a timing of fully programing the host data block; and popping a second block from the spare pool to be a garbage collection (GC) destination block, and performing second subsequent operations, wherein the GC destination block is arranged to receive data from a GC source block during a GC procedure, and serial number assignment of the GC destination block corresponds to a timing of starting using the GC destination block.
