Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to generate virtual blocks using partial good blocks or portions of full blocks. The controller identifies a region of a set of memory components comprising a plurality of planes across a plurality of decks. The controller determines that a first memory block within a first deck associated with a first plane of the plurality of planes is a first partial good block (PGB), the first PGB including a portions categorized as being defective and portions categorized as being non-defective. The controller determines that a second memory block associated with a second plane is a full block (FB), the FB being categorized as non-defective. The controller generates a virtual block using the first PGB of the first memory block associated with the first plane and a portion of the FB of the second memory block associated with the second plane.
