Zusammenfassung:	A method for providing end-to-end data protection while supporting multiple cyclic-redundancy-check (CRC) algorithms is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving, from a first host device, a data block protected by a first CRC. The first CRC is generated using a first CRC algorithm. The method checks the integrity of the data block using the first CRC and the first CRC algorithm. The method then computes a second CRC for the data block using a second CRC algorithm different from the first CRC algorithm. The method then stores the data block, the first CRC, and the second CRC on a storage medium, such as magnetic tape.
