Abstract
A method for managing data in a non-volatile memory system includes generating, by a randomizer integrated on a die of a memory device, padding data to close a memory block for a data write operation. The padding data is random data. The method includes programming, by a media controller of the memory device, the padding data into specified memory pages in a data block within the memory device. The data block stores user data for the data write operation and the padding data. The method includes executing, by a memory controller and by the media controller, a data integrity scan on a selected memory page of the specified memory pages of the data block. Execution of the data integrity scan includes re-generating, by the randomizer, the padding data and comparing the re-generated padding data with stored padding data sensed from the selected memory page to identify mismatch data.
