Abstract
A memory system performs verification when writing to memory. It is possible that the memory system may be missing some components (or components may be otherwise unavailable). To account for missing or unavailable components when performing verification, the memory system uses a pattern of data that includes a mask identifying the missing or unavailable components. The mask is used to force a predetermined result of the verification for the missing or unavailable portions of the memory structure so that results of the verification that correspond to the missing or unavailable components are not counted as errors.
