Abstract
The present disclosure configures a system component, such as memory sub-system controller, to perform empty page scan operations. The controller, in response to a request to perform an empty page scan operation, identifies a portion of a set of memory components that is empty and ready to be programmed. The controller generates an order in which to perform the empty page scan operation for a plurality of regions of the identified portion of the set of memory components. The controller determines whether a first region of the plurality of regions in the order fails the empty page scan operation before a second region of the plurality of regions is scanned. The controller terminates the empty page scan operation early to prevent performing the empty page scan operation for one or more remaining regions of the plurality of regions of the identified portion.
