1. A method for reconstructing a logical block, wherein the logical block comprises a first set of sectors, comprising:

  • obtaining a copy of the logical block comprising a second set of sectors;

    determining which of the sectors in the first set of sectors are identical to sectors in the second set of sectors to obtain identical sectors;

    selecting a first combination of non-identical sectors from the first set of sectors and the second set of sectors;

    combining a copy of each of the identical sectors with the first combination of non-identical sectors to obtain a first reconstructed logical block;

    calculating a first checksum for the first reconstructed logical block; and

    determining whether the first calculated checksum is equal to the stored checksum associated with the first logical block.
