Data storage device with variable containers for logic blocks

A method comprising:

• encoding, by one or more processing devices, based on a distributed sector encoding scheme, data into a plurality of logic blocks of data, wherein the logic blocks of data comprise the data to be written being interleaved across a plurality of sectors;
• and
• assigning, by one or more processing devices, at least some of the logic blocks of data to a plurality of containers of two or more container sizes.

One or more processing devices comprising:

• means for encoding, based on a distributed sector encoding scheme, data into a plurality of logic blocks of data, wherein the logic blocks of data comprise the data to be written being interleaved across a plurality of sectors;
• and
• means for outputting a write signal to a write mechanism configured to write data to disk surfaces of one or more disks of a data storage device, to write the at least some of the logic blocks of data in accordance with assigning at least some of the logic blocks of data to a plurality of containers with different sizes.
