Abstract
A method for integrating data and header protection in tape drives includes receiving an array of data organized into rows and columns.

The method provides two dimensions of error correction code (ECC) protection for the data in the array and a single dimension of ECC protection for the headers in the array. A corresponding apparatus is also disclosed herein.
