Data dependent allocation of error correction resources
Various method and apparatus embodiments for data dependent error correction code (ECC) encoding are disclosed. In one embodiment, a data object may include multiple portions, with each portion having different characteristics. An ECC encoder may allocate error correction resources (e.g., parity bits) to the different portions at respectively different data rates (e.g., more error correction resources to some portions relative to other portions). Upon completion of the allocation, the data object and the associated error correction resources are forwarded to a storage medium for storage therein.
