Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are provided that may be used to identify and report multiple information units (e.g., logical blocks) having medium errors within a given composite information structure (e.g., physical block) of a storage device (e.g., such as a hard drive) whenever any single information unit having an error within the same composite information structure is accessed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An information handling system, comprising: at least one storage device including storage media; at least one first processing device coupled to the storage device and configured to access the storage media for reading and writing data on the storage media as individual composite information structures having a first data size, and to provide data read from the storage media and to accept data for writing to the storage media as emulated information units…
