Apparatus, systems, and methods to manage memory operations are described. In one embodiment, an electronic device comprises a processor and a memory control logic to retrieve a global sequence number from a memory device, receive a read request for data stored in a logical block address in the memory device, retrieve a media sequence number from the logical block address in the memory device, and return a null response in lieu of the data stored in the logical block address when the media sequence number is older than the global sequence number. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
