A method of storing a set of metadata bits associated with each of multiple data words includes combining the set of metadata bits with each of the multiple data words to generate multiple extended data words. The method includes encoding each of the multiple extended data words to generate multiple codewords and puncturing each of the multiple codewords to generate multiple punctured codewords, where in each of the punctured codewords the set of metadata bits is removed. The method includes storing the multiple punctured codewords, transforming the set of metadata bits to generate a set of transformed metadata bits, and storing the set of transformed metadata bits. |
