Abstract
Various illustrative aspects are directed to a data storage device, comprising: one or more disks; a write mechanism configured to write data to disk surfaces of the one or more disks; and one or more processing devices, which are configured to: encode, based on a distributed sector encoding scheme, data into a plurality of logic blocks of data, wherein the logic blocks of data comprise the data to be written being interleaved across a plurality of sectors; assign at least some of the logic blocks to a plurality of containers of two or more container sizes, the container sizes comprising a relatively larger container size and a relatively smaller container size; and output a write signal to the write mechanism to write the logic blocks in accordance with the assigning of the at least some of the logic blocks to the plurality of containers.
