An interlaced even and odd mapping maps between a logical address space and a physical address space. In one embodiment, an interlaced even and odd mapping scheme provides for converting between a target logical block address (LBA) and a target physical disc sector or cylinder head sector (CHS). In other embodiments, the mapping may be used in any application wherein address translation is desired between address spaces. For example, the mapping may be used to convert between a target logical address space and a target physical address space in a digital computer environment that includes a data storage device, such as a disc drive, for persistent storage. The interlaced even and odd mapping scheme allows for larger physical sector sizes on the data storage device than the logical sector sizes on a host computer.
