A tape-based data storage system according to one embodiment includes a head having an array of channels for writing a set of data tracks on a magnetic tape; wherein data to be written on the magnetic tape in a given pass of the tape relative to the head is parsed into at least two error correctable sets, wherein each of the error correctable sets is written by a unique subset of the array of channels. A tape-based data storage system according to another embodiment includes a head having an array of channels for reading a set of data tracks on a magnetic tape; wherein data read from the magnetic tape in a given pass of the tape relative to the head includes at least two error correctable sets, wherein each of the error correctable sets is read by a unique subset of the array of channels.
