Storage System and Method for Avoiding Header to Improve Parity - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17824066 titled 'Storage System and Method for Avoiding Header to Improve Parity

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a storage system that stores data in a primary block and a secondary block.

  • Data and its copy are stored in both blocks, along with parity bits for error protection.
  • The secondary block also contains a header with logical block information.
  • The primary block does not have a header, allowing for more parity bits to be stored with the data.
  • This increases the error protection for the data in the primary block and reduces reliance on the secondary block.


Original Abstract Submitted

A storage system stores data in a primary block and a copy of the data in a secondary block. Parity bits are stored with the data and the copy of the data. A header with logical block information is stored with the copy of the data in the secondary block. The data in the primary block is not stored with a header, which allows more parity bits to be stored with the data in the primary block. This provides more robust error protection for the data stored in the primary block and reduces the need to rely upon the copy of the data in the secondary block.
