Paragraph Number

273

In one embodiment, the ECC is a block code that is distributed with the data. Furthermore, the data and the ECC may not align with any particular physical hardware boundary. As a result, error correction with the ECC codes is not dependent on a particular hardware configuration. Therefore, the ECC and corresponding data may form an ECC chunk 616 and the ECC chunk may be divided and stored on one or more of the N storage elements 606a-n. An ECC chunk 616 typically spans at least a portion of a plurality of physical pages 610 of a logical page where the data and ECC generated from the data 612a, 612b, . . . 612m are spread across the N storage elements 606a-n. In one embodiment, a LP includes a plurality of ECC chunks 616. A physical page 610 may contain one or more data bytes of the ECC chunk 616. An ECC chunk 616 may span multiple rows within a physical page 610 and a physical page 610 may include a plurality of ECC chunks 616.
