    Abstract: A hard disk drive is adapted to take the most recent estimated read head positions (the position error signal or PES values) that are obtained during writing and write those values into the data sectors as written PES (WPES) values. The WPES values are available on readback for use as a predictor of the positions in which subsequent data sectors were written and are also available for use in a data recovery procedure should a particular data sector fail to be recovered. In two-dimensional magnetic recording, the difference between the WPES value and the read PES value is a quantity required to rapidly select the best 2D equalizer. The PES values may be encoded prior to being written into the data sectors. The WPES values are appended to the data sectors after the preamble and sync fields, which occur after every servo sector.

    Abstract: Disk drives are described in which blocks of data spanning multiple sectors are encoded into a plurality of codewords which are then divided into segments that are physically separated (distributed) on the disk surface over multiple sectors in a distributed codeword block so that the codewords have an improved worst case SNR in comparison to individual sectors. This results in more even SNR performance for each codeword, which improves the performance for portions of a track which have lower than the average SNR. Embodiments are described in which the distributed codeword blocks span across tracks.

    Abstract: A dual-stack read sensor is utilized in a storage device having an actuator arm that positions the read sensor over a rotating storage medium. The dual-stacked read sensor includes a primary read sensor having a first set of read sensor characteristics and a secondary read sensor having a second set of read sensor characteristics that differ from the first set of read sensor characteristics, wherein the secondary read sensor is positioned relative to the primary read sensor to be radially offset from the primary read sensor relative to a data track being read.

    Abstract: A technique for recovering of “squeezed” sectors in a set of sequential sectors such as are used in Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) is described. Embodiments of the invention use a programmable erased sector recovery scheme, which is a concatenation of a “Cauchy-type” track erasure correction code, together with a media-error correction code that generates N-weighted parity-sectors per track and is capable of replacing up to N-erased sectors per track in any possible combination.
