Abstract
Provided is a method, system, and program for storing input groups of uncoded binary data on a storage medium. A plurality of uncoded data blocks in a data stream are received. An encoded data stream is obtained from concatenating successive encoded blocks such that the encoded data stream includes a predetermined bit pattern comprising a plurality of bits. The bit pattern always occurs within a first number of bits and two occurrences of a “1” or “0” occur within a second number of bits. The encoded data blocks are stored on the storage medium.
