Abstract: This paper presents a new data allocation method for probe-based storage devices that use multiple, simultaneously accessed parallel data fields. The presented method uses blocks of data of unequal length for allocating a sector in the various storage fields. The amount of data stored in each field depends on the sector's offset from the beginning of the allocation round and on the used storage field. Numerical results demonstrate the storage efficiency improvement that is achieved by the proposed method. The application of the proposed method to AFM-based probe storage devices is also presented.
