Abstract
A storage device includes a storage medium having a plurality of data tracks. At least one data track of the plurality of data tracks includes a number of super parity sectors. The number of super parity sectors selected for the at least one data tracks is selected based on a distance between an inner diameter of the storage medium and the data track. The number of super parity sectors provides error correction code for the at least one data track.
Claims20
A storage device comprising:
- a storage medium including a plurality of data tracks, a data track of the plurality of data tracks including a number of super parity sectors, wherein the number of super parity sectors is selected based on a distance between an inner diameter of the storage medium and the data track.
A method comprising:
- selecting a number of super parity sectors for a data track to be written to a storage medium, the number of super parity sectors selected based on a distance between an inner diameter of the storage medium and the data track;
- and
- writing the data track to the storage medium, the data track including the selected number of super parity sectors.
One or more processor-readable storage media encoding processor-executable instructions for executing on processing system a process comprising:
- selecting a number of super parity sectors for a data track to be written to the storage medium, the number of super parity sectors selected based on a distance between an inner diameter of the storage medium and the data track;
- and
- writing the data track to the storage medium, the data track including the selected number of super parity sectors.
