Abstract
An apparatus for two-dimensional magnetic recording includes a storage medium, an array of magnetoresistive read heads disposed adjacent the storage medium and spaced to read a data track, a number of leads connected to the array of magnetoresistive read heads, and number of bias circuits connected to the array of read heads by the leads. The bias circuits can be configured to independently bias each of the array of read heads with the array of read heads connected in series or in parallel.
