Claim 17:
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:
determine that a quantity of blocks of a superblock of a non-volatile memory array are bad blocks;
compare the quantity of bad blocks to a bad block criteria;
in response to the quantity of bad blocks meeting the bad block criteria, checking whether a superblock write value meets a superblock write value criteria, wherein:
the superblock write value indicates an amount of data written since a last partial superblock was written to; and
the superblock write value is incremented by a numerical value of one in response to host data being written to a full superblock that does not include a bad block; and

in response to the superblock write value meeting the superblock write value criteria, write data to the superblock with the quantity of bad blocks.
