An information handling system includes a non-volatile memory, a central processing unit, and a memory controller. The non-volatile memory is configured in a block translation table mode, and divided into a plurality of sectors. The central processing unit writes data to the non-volatile memory by sector. The memory controller detects a power loss in the information handling system, determines a memory address of a last successful write within the non-volatile memory, stores the memory address in an used portion of the non-volatile memory, and starts a save operation.
