Codeword (storage ECC)
A storage ECC codeword is an encoded unit representing a data chunk together with error-correction redundancy.
A NAND page can hold multiple codewords. Codeword length and protected payload length are different quantities when redundancy is included; report which one a size or error-rate denominator uses. A codeword is not automatically a sector, NAND page or erase block. [1]

Limitations
- A count of failed codewords does not count every erroneous bit in those words. [1]
