Abstract
A write channel includes a pre-encoding module that encodes write data to produce pre-encoded data. An error correcting code (ECC) module generates ECC data based on the pre-encoded data. A post-encoding module encodes the ECC data to produce post-encoded data. A combining module combines the pre-encoded data and the post-encoded data for writing to the storage medium.
