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.
