Claim 8:
9. A storage drive with storage of data for improved composite aerial density capability (ADC), the storage drive comprising:
a plurality of different media surface of the storage drive comprising different quality characteristics supporting different ADCs;
a plurality of different media surfaces on which separate storage operations are performed with respect to different ones of the plurality of media surfaces;
an encoder for application of a coding scheme to a data portion to generate an encoded data portion;
a sub-portion manager operative to divide the encoded data portion into a plurality of write sub-portions for:
writing the write sub-portions to different respective media surfaces of the plurality of different media surfaces,
reading a corresponding plurality of read sub-portions from the different respective media surfaces of the plurality of different media surfaces, and
combining the plurality of read sub-portions to generate a recreated encoded data portion; and

a decoder for decoding the recreated encoded data portion using the coding scheme.
