Original Abstract Submitted

A system can include a memory device with multiple management units, each management unit made up of multiple blocks, and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform various operations including identifying, among the management units, some complete management units and some incomplete management units, as well as performing one type of operation using one or more complete management units. The operations can also include performing another type of operation using one or more incomplete management units where this other type of operation include writing, to one or more incomplete management units, metadata associated with the data stored in complete management units.
