Abstract
A parallel data encoding method in single disk drive units. The method can be applied to botb bard disc drives and floppies. None or little change is required in the Present Physical construction of disk drives. The invention permits standard error detection and correction methods. Construction of multiple heads per surface is also introduced to facilitate the parallel encoding of data for floppies and compact hard disc drive units and to decrease average track seek time.
