A parity interleaving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a processor configured to generate a parity bit string for parity puncturing by segmenting parity bits of an LDPC codeword whose length is 16200 and whose code rate is 3/15, into a plurality of groups, and group-wise interleaving the groups using an order of group-wise interleaving; and memory configured to provide the parity bit string for parity puncturing to a parity puncturing unit.

One embodiment provides a system which facilitates data management. During operation, the system receives, by a storage device, a plurality of data blocks. The system compresses the data blocks to obtain compressed data blocks, and performs error correction code (ECC)-encoding on the compressed data blocks to obtain ECC-encoded data blocks. The system stores the ECC-encoded data blocks in a buffer prior to writing the ECC-encoded data blocks in a non-volatile memory of the storage device, and reorganizes an order of the ECC-encoded data blocks in the buffer to match a size of a physical page of the non-volatile memory. Responsive to a first set of the reorganized ECC-encoded data blocks filling a first physical page, the system writes the first set of the reorganized ECC-encoded data blocks to the first physical page.
