An XOR unit is provided in a hard disk controller for calculating an XOR of two operands stored in a buffer memory. The XOR unit includes an XOR calculator for calculating the XOR of the operands and a CRC of the XOR resulting from the calculation. An XOR buffer is also included in the XOR unit for storing the XOR result and the CRC of the XOR result, and a CRC calculator for calculating a CRC of the XOR result stored in the XOR buffer. The CRC calculated by the CRC calculator is compared with the CRC of the XOR result stored in the CRC buffer to determine whether the XOR result has been corrupted in the XOR buffer. The XOR result stored in the XOR buffer is determined to be corrupted if the CRC calculated by the CRC calculator and the CRC stored in the XOR buffer do not match. |
