ABSTRACT:
The Hamming distance of an array of storage devices is increased by generating a parity check matrix based on column equations that are formed using an orthogonal parity code and includes a higher-order multiplier that changes each column. The higher order multiplier is selected to generate a finite basic field of a predetermined number of elements. The array has M rows and N columns, such that M is greater than or equal to three and N is greater than or equal to three. Row1through row M−2 of the array each have n–p data storage devices and p parity storage devices. Row M−1 of the array has n−(p+1) data storage devices and (p+1) parity storage devices. Lastly, row M of the array has N parity storage devices.
