Zusammenfassung:Methods of operating a memory device, and memory devices and systems so configured, include receiving a first address range for programming user data to a first range of physical memory addresses of a memory device, receiving a second address range for programming associated metadata to a second range of physical memory addresses of the memory device, determining whether the first address range is contiguous with the second address range, maintaining the second range of physical memory addresses for programming the metadata when it is determined that the second address range is contiguous with the first address range, and, when it is determined that the second address range is not contiguous with the first address range, remapping the second address range to a third range of physical memory addresses of the memory contiguous with the first range of physical memory addresses for programming the metadata.
