Abstract
Polar codes are a new class of error-correcting codes that provably achieve the capacity of memoryless channels with low complexity encoding and decoding algorithms. In this work, we survey the literature and investigate the suitability of polar codes to data storage applications focusing on error-correction performance and throughput. We show that polar codes meet the criteria for such applications and highlight the work required before practical data storage systems can utilize these codes.
