A method comprising: receiving, at a memory controller, a request for a write to a first address; accessing remapping data associated with the memory controller; using the remapping data to remap the first address to a first location within a storage unit, the first location within the storage unit being different than the first address; identifying a first disruption region within the storage unit that includes the first location; writing content from the first disruption region to a second disruption region; processing, by the memory controller and during the writing of the content from the first disruption region to the second disruption region, read operations from the first disruption region; determining that the content from the first disruption region has been written to the second disruption region; and configuring the remapping data to associate the first address with a second location within the storage unit that corresponds to the second disruption region based on determining that the content from the first disruption region has been written to the second disruption region.
