Abstract
Disclosed is a configuration to store metadata using an error correction code (ECC). The configuration receives at an ECC encoder of a memory controller, write data and an N-bit metadata, N comprising an integer greater than 0. The configuration generates a meta symbol using the N-bit metadata and creates an enhanced write data, the enhanced write data comprising the write data and the meta symbol generated by the N-bit metadata. The configuration encodes the enhanced write data and meta symbol to generate a parity. It deletes the meta symbol to generate an output, the output comprising an enhanced codeword and writes the enhanced codeword to a memory.
