| 1. A method operable in a dynamically mapped storage device, the method operable to manage multiple copies of user data written
to the recordable media of the storage device, the method comprising:
writing multiple copies of a host supplied logical block to the recordable media wherein each copy of the multiple copies
is written at a different physical location of the recordable media;
mapping each of the multiple copies to an identical logical block address; and
reading a selected copy of the multiple copies in response to a host request to return data from the logical block address.
