Error correction code
An error correction code designed to correct specific errors in data.
Error detection and correction
A series of methods used to add a redundant code to data in the existing format

Interleaving section
A process that physically arranges data units so that data resists burst errors.
LUN (Logical Unit Number)
A device address used to identify a logical unit.
Recording layer
A disk layer in which data should be recorded during manufacturing or recording.
Recording power
An incidence power specified on the incidence surface and used to form marks.
Sense code

of error detected.
Sense data
Information generated by the target to report detailed error information if a
command end status contains any error information.
Sense key
A 4-bit code set in sense data. This information is used to classify the type of
error detected.
Spindle
