data storage device with a bit -patterned media having a staggered Ireland

摘要

The data recording apparatus using the data recording medium having an array of bit patterned heat offset relative to one another. Columns are offset such that the bits are in a direction perpendicular to a direction extending columns are staggered. The increased bit aspect ratio of the staggered bit pattern recording medium ring will increase the linear recording density and further increases the data recording speed.
