access a code word of a Reed Solomon error-correcting code, the code word comprising a plurality of bytes having corresponding positions,
determine a first byte error position signal for a first erroneous byte of the code word,
determine a first byte error correction value for correcting the first erroneous byte identified by the first byte error position signal, the first byte error correction value determined using a first value and a second value determined for each of at least two byte positions based on a coefficient of a locator polynomial, and
correct the first erroneous byte based on the first byte error correction value.
