1. A data storage device, the data storage device comprising:

  • a storage medium;

    a read/write head assembly disposed in relation to the storage medium and operable to;

    write a stored codeword to the storage medium; and

    sense information corresponding to the stored codeword as an encoded codeword;

    a read channel circuit operable to receive the encoded codeword, and including;

    a missing symbols insertion circuit, a codeword de-scramble circuit, and an address insertion circuit that together are operable to pad a derivative of the encoded codeword with a plurality of symbols, to de-scramble the derivative of the encoded codeword, and to insert address information corresponding to the derivative of the encoded codeword to yield a modified encoded codeword; and

    a data decoder circuit operable to apply a data decoding algorithm to the modified encoded codeword to yield a decoded output.
