Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a method includes writing data to a storage medium of a data storage system using a partial reverse concatenated modulation code by encoding data sets using a C2 encoding scheme, adding a header to each subunit of the data sets, encoding the headers of the data sets with a first modulation encoding scheme, encoding data portions of the data sets with a second modulation encoding scheme, encoding portions of the one or more C2-encoded data sets using a C1 encoding scheme, combining the C1-encoded portions with the modulation-encoded headers of the C2-encoded data sets using a multiplexer, and writing the one or more combined C1- and C2-encoded data sets to data tracks of the storage medium. Other methods for writing data to a storage medium of a data storage system using a partial reverse concatenated modulation code are presented according to more embodiments.
