Metadata that corresponds to application data is distributed across different disruption regions of an asymmetric memory component such that metadata is written in the same disruption region as the application data to which it corresponds. A first block of application data is written to a first disruption region and a second block of application data is written to a second disruption region. A first block of metadata corresponding to the first block of application data and a second block of metadata corresponding to the second block of application data both are generated. The first block of metadata is written to the first disruption region and the second block of metadata is written to the second disruption region such that the first and second blocks of metadata are written to the same disruption regions as the blocks of application data to which they correspond.
