A multi-port, multi-mode Reed Solomon (RS) forward error correction system includes a plurality of data in lines, each associated with a data port. The system includes a syndrome block (SDM) that has a plurality of syndrome slices and a SDM switching logic. An input of a SDM slice couples with a data in line from the plurality of data in lines. The switching logic couples with an interface port width (IFW) line a mode line. The IFW line identifies a number of data in lines tied together and the mode line to identify a RS mode. A reformulated inversionless Berlekamp-Massey (RiBM) block has a plurality of RiBM slices and a RiBM switching logic. A Chien Forney (ChFr) block has a plurality of ChFr slices. An error evaluation magnitude (ErEval) block has a plurality of ErEval slices. A plurality of adders couple with an output of a corresponding ErEval slice.
