Implication

Experimental evaluation demonstrates reliable ontrack and offtrack error rates in gigabit-density magnetic recording components, indicating the viability of ultra-high-density storage systems.

Key Points

Evaluate the ontrack and offtrack error-rate performance of experimental magnetic recording heads and disks operating at an areal recording density of approximately 1 Gb/in².
Tested multiple combinations of experimental magnetoresistive heads and thin-film magnetic disks.
Utilized a partial-response readback channel tuned using precompensation and equalization techniques.
Achieved successful data reading and writing at a high recording density of approximately 1 Gb/in².
Demonstrated acceptable error-rate performance and adequate offtrack margins across the tested component configurations.
