The method further includes (c) partitioning the host data into a plurality of payloads, (d) providing metadata for the payloads, (e) calculating error correction codes for the payloads and the metadata associated with each of the payloads, and (f) creating a plurality of codewords, each codeword comprising a payload, metadata, and error correction codes corresponding to the payload. The method includes (g) based on the quantity of error correction code levels, either storing the codewords in the storage system or partitioning the codewords into a plurality of further payloads, the further payloads iteratively processed according to steps (d) through (g) to provide the quantity of error correction code levels.
