Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include detecting an operation to write dirty data to a cache. The cache is divided into a plurality of channels. In response to the operation, the dirty data is written to a first cache line in the cache, the first cache line being accessed via a first channel. Additionally, a redundant copy of the dirty data is written to a second cache line in the cache. The second cache line serves as a redundant write buffer and is accessed via a second channel, the first and second channels differing from one another. A metadata entry for the second cache line is updated to reference a location of the dirty data in the first cache line.
