A bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) system is a type of ultrahigh-capacity magnetic storage system that can extend to an areal density of 1 terabit per square inch or higher. However, because the space between islands in the down- and cross-track directions is reduced to extend the areal density, the effect of two-dimensional interference is increased. However, using a staggered array, which is one of the possible island distributions for BPMR, helps to decrease intertrack interference. A 7/10 modulation code for a staggered BPMR is proposed to avoid the effect of two-dimensional interference and provide distance among nonidentical codewords for improving the correcting capability.
