Abstract
Mass storage uses additional error correction codes. The additional codes can be stored in a storage medium (e.g., volatile solid state memory) separate from the associated data. The additional codes may be written to a nonvolatile medium. The additional codes may be transient. The additional codes may be cached. As long as present, the additional codes may be used to correct user data in synch with or in addition to other error detection and correction codes.
