  • Selectable read modes for a two dimensional magnetic recording system
    Patent number: 10268383
    Abstract: Two or more read modes of a data storage system and device are defined. The data storage device is capable of concurrently reading from two or more tracks using two or more read transducers. The read modes utilize different numbers of the two or more read transducers while reading data. The read modes are selected based on an operating condition of the data storage system or device.
    Type: Grant

  • Requirement relaxation for multiple readers in presence of large skew angle range
    Patent number: 9123384
    Abstract: A readback signal from a first reader and a readback signal from a second reader are received, the first reader and the second reader configured to read two-dimensional data from at least one track of a recording media. A quality metric of the second reader is measured based on the readback signal. It is determined if the quality metric for the second reader is above a threshold. If the quality metric is above the threshold, the first reader and the second reader are used to read the data.
