Access data 500 may be stored in one or more predefined locations in the region 500 of the non-volatile memory device 120, such as the first two ECC chunks 502 in the depicted embodiment. In certain embodiments, the access data 504 for the region 500 may comprise a media access control (MAC) header or erase block opener for the region 500. In the depicted embodiment, the first two ECC chunks 502 store access data 504 encoded with multiple error correcting codes, including the primary/outer error correcting code of the primary ECC module 302, the secondary/inner error correcting code of the secondary ECC module 304, and the repetition error correcting code of the repetition code module 406 as depicted in FIG. 5B, while the remaining ECC chunks 502 store user data 506 encoded with the primary/outer error correcting code.
