Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
receive, at the electronic device, a write command indicating data to be written, a type of the data, and a first logical address of a memory array for writing the data;
identify a first entry of a plurality of entries in a table, the table comprising a mapping between logical addresses and physical addresses of the memory array, wherein each of the plurality of entries is associated with a respective logical address and comprises:
a pointer to a respective physical address associated with the respective logical address; and
a first field indicating a respective level of usage of the respective logical address, wherein the first entry is associated with the first logical address;

determine whether the type of the data is different than metadata or forced unit access (FUA) data;
set, based at least in part on whether the type of the data is different than metadata or FUA data, a value for the first field of the first entry to indicate the respective level of usage of the first logical address; and
write the data to a first physical address of the memory array after setting the value for the first field of the first entry, wherein the first physical address is based at least in part on the value for the first field of the first entry.
