Abstract
In one implementation, the disclosure provides a method comprising detecting one or more areas of a storage medium having a data pattern with a plurality of consecutive bits, where the consecutive bits have the same polarity. The method further comprises encoding additional information on a section of the one or more detected areas, where the section of the one or more detected areas has a signal to noise ratio (SNR) higher than SNR of the other areas of the storage media.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting one or more areas of a storage medium having a data pattern with a plurality of consecutive bits, the consecutive bits having the same polarity;
- and
- encoding additional information on a section of the one or more detected areas, the section of the one or more detected areas having a signal to noise ratio (SNR) higher than SNR of other areas of the storage medium.
A system comprising:
- a storage media system including a media storage device;
- and
- a storage controller configured to:
- detect one or more areas of a storage medium having a data pattern with a plurality of consecutive bits, the consecutive bits having the same polarity, and
- encode additional information on a section of the one or more detected areas, the section of the one or more detected areas having a signal to noise ratio (SNR) higher than SNR of other areas of the storage media.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding computer-executable instructions for executing on a computer system a computer process comprising:
- detecting one or more areas of a storage medium having a data pattern with a plurality of consecutive bits, the consecutive bits having the same polarity;
- and
- encoding additional information on a section of the one or more detected areas, the section of the one or more detected areas having a signal to noise ratio (SNR) higher than SNR of other areas of the storage medium.
