Abstract
A storage device performs error handling using asymmetric blocks in a memory device. The memory may be divided into blocks of varying sizes. A controller on the storage device may process instructions by writing data to a first block on the memory device. If the controller determines an error occurred with a write operation to the first block and if the controller is unable to find a second block that is the same size as the first block, the controller may replace the first block with a second block that is larger than the first block. The controller may mark the second block and continue with the write operation.
