Abstract
Successive bytes of data are recorded in successive sectors on a disk medium by N recording heads. Successive data units, each formed of multiple bytes, are written sequentially into N memory devices, and those N memory devices are sequentially read to supply a data unit from one memory device to a corresponding recording head, thereby recording a data unit in successive sectors on the disk medium. The same N heads can be used to reproduce the recorded bytes from the disk medium.
