METADATA INDICATION FOR A MEMORY DEVICE

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for metadata indication are described herein. A method includes receiving, from a host system, a read command to retrieve information from a first block of a memory device, identifying a transfer unit associated with the first block indicated in the read command, identifying an indicator in metadata of the identified transfer unit indicating that at least one sector of the transfer unit has been altered based at least in part on identifying the transfer unit, validating data of the transfer unit stored in the memory device based at least in part on identifying the indicator in the metadata, and retrieving the information stored in the first block based at least in part on validating the data of the transfer unit.
