1. A data storage system, comprising:
a control system operable to:
identify a storage material having a greatest number of copies when compared with other storage materials in the data storage system;
decode at least one copy of the storage material having the greatest number of copies; and
generate a state transition matrix based, at least in part, on the decoded at least one copy of the storage material having the greatest number of copies.
