Use of redundant bits for magnetic recording: single-Parity codes and Reed-Solomon error-correcting code

The performance of single-parity codes used in conjunction with the Reed-Solomon error-correcting code (ECC) is investigated. Specifically, the tradeoff between simply increasing ECC power instead of using a parity code is explored.
