Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory has a namespace formatted using a first sector size. Master boot record (MBR) data is written to an MBR region outside of the namespace using the first sector size. After writing the MBR data, the namespace is reformatted using a second sector size. A read command is received from a host for an address in an MBR address range of the namespace. In response to receiving the read command, the MBR data is read from the MBR region. Padding is added to the read MBR data, and the padded MBR data is sent to the host device.
