One embodiment disclosed is method for protecting data stored on at least one storage unit against uncorrectable media errors. The method includes associating a given redundancy set of at least one redundancy information sector (R) with a given data set of at least two data information sectors (D). The information content of the redundancy set is computed dependent on the information content of the data set. A storing operation stores the information content of the redundancy set consecutively with the information content of the data set forming a segment such that the redundancy set is placed logically in between a first part and a second part of the data set, and accessing at least one data information sector (D) in the data set by reading and/or writing the information content of the at least one data information sector (D) and at least one redundancy information sector (R) in the redundancy set with a single request.
