Abstract
This disclosure is directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods of storing a data entity using at least two sectors of a memory device based at least in part on context information of the data entity. For example, the context information may differentiate between large sequential operations and small random operations, and may further improve multitasking support. The context information may further improve operations to erase data in the memory device. For example, a method may include storing a data entity using at least two sectors of a memory device, the at least two sectors associated with the same data entity, and maintaining, at a memory controller, context information of the data entity comprising a pointer to at least one of the at least two sectors of the memory device. The method may further include erasing the at least two sectors of the memory device using the context information.
