Abstract
There is provided a system and method of mass storage. The method includes dividing storage units into standard size blocks and upon receiving a write request from an application, generating EDC data for user application data associated with the write request. The method also includes compressing the user application data using a lossless compression technique and storing the user application data and the EDC data together in a single block in a primary data area if the lossless compression technique is successful.
