Use of Redundant Bits for Magnetic Recording: Single-Parity Codes and Reed–Solomon Error-Correcting Code
Z.A. Keirn, V.Yu. Krachkovsky, Erich F. Haratsch, Hendrik Burger · IEEE Transactions on Magnetics · 2004
The performance of single-parity codes used in conjunction with the Reed-Solomon error-correcting code (ECC) is investigated. Specifically, the tradeoff between simply increasing ECC power instead of using a parity code is explored.
