Abstract
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a storage medium. First data is encoded into a first codeword comprising a plurality of i-bit symbols, and second data is encoded into a second codeword comprising a plurality of j-bit symbols, wherein i is different than j and a first code rate of the first codeword is less than a second code rate of the second codeword. The first codeword and the second codeword are symbol interleaved to generate an interleaved codeword, and the interleaved codeword is written to the storage medium.
