Abstract
A system includes storage media and control logic coupled to the storage media, where the control logic is configured to receive a write request and determine whether the write request specifies writing a predetermined pattern to a particular location of the storage media. In response to determining that the write request specifies writing the predetermined pattern to the particular location, the control logic is configured to identify with an indicator that the particular location contains invalid data.
