Abstract
To understand how soft iterative decoding can be applied to communications, we study disk drives, where the high rate of innovation makes it a likely candidate for the early adoption of advanced coding techniques. In particular, unlike communications systems that are based on standards, each hard disk drive can use its own proprietary coding scheme.
“If you want to understand why something happens in business, study the disk drive industry. Those companies are the closest things to fruit flies that the business world will ever see.”
from The Innovator’s Dilemma, C. M. Christensen
