Abstract

See full text

Data format that allows for format-efficient data storage, particularly on bit-patterned media. The data format allows for variations in the data storage device, such as reader-to-writer gap variations. A medium can also have at least a pair of a synchronization field and a quiet field with a length greater than a length of the synchronization field. These can be implemented in a bit patterned media system.
