Abstract

See full text

A hard disk drive has a pattern detector for providing fault-tolerant detection of a data sync mark represented by a substring of a concatenated string of error-prone read symbols and for providing a reduced risk that a nonmark substring of the concatenated string of error-prone read symbols will be misdetected as a sync mark. The data sync mark write string corresponds to an ordered set of m expected symbols selected to have maximum distance from all non-mark substrings of m consecutive expected symbols that exist in the concatenated string of expected symbols.
