Abstract
A data storage device can include a recording medium; a controller unit to generate control signals in response to write information and write commands; and a transducer section coupled to receive the controls signals, and in response, write the write information into the recording medium and form a data protection pattern in the recording medium adjacent to the write information.
Claims20
A data storage device, comprising:
- a recording medium;
- a controller unit to generate control signals in response to write information and write commands;
- and
- a transducer section coupled to receive the controls signals, and in response, write the write information into the recording medium and form a data protection pattern in the recording medium adjacent to the write information.
1 more element
A data storage device, comprising:
- a recording medium;
- a transducer section configured to write patterns into the medium;
- a controller unit configured to control the transducer section to record write information into the recording medium, and selectively record at least a first data protection pattern in the recording medium adjacent to the write information;
- and
- a memory coupled to the controller unit and configured to register location data indicating where the data protection pattern is stored.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a recording medium;
- and
- a controller unit configured to control a recording of write information in the recording medium and a form at least a first data protection pattern in the recording medium adjacent to the write information that improves data storage characteristics of the write information as recorded in the recording medium.
