Abstract:
An indication of an initialization of power to a memory component can be received. In response to receiving the indication of the initialization, a last written page of a data block of the memory component can be identified. The last written page is associated with a status indicator. A determination is made of whether the status indicator can be read. Responsive to determining that the status indicator cannot be read, it can be determined that programming of data to the data block of the memory component did not complete based on a prior loss of power to the memory component.
