Abstract :
We investigate the performance of single and multiple parity codes in magnetic recording systems. We evaluate the codes with respect to bit error rate as well as error correction code (ECC) failure rate. While multiple parity codes outperform the single parity code in bit error rate, their performance is worse with respect to the ECC failure rate
