An information handling system may include a processor and a program of instructions embodied in non-transitory computer-readable media and configured to, when read and executed by the processor: in response to a request to write a variable to a solid state device, store the variable to a memory location of the solid state device, the variable including variable data and a variable status indicative of a validity of the variable data, the variable status having a plurality of bits wherein each of the plurality of bits are set to an initial value and in response to a request to modify the variable, modify the variable status by changing one of the plurality of bits from the initial value to a logical complement of the initial value to change the validity of the variable data. The validity of the variable data may be based on whether an even number or odd number of the plurality of bits are equal to the complement of the initial value.
