    Abstract: A data storage device includes a first system-on-a-chip (SOC) associated with a first read transducer that accesses one or more magnetic disks of the data storage drive. The first SOC has a first read channel operable to receive data from the first read transducer. A second SOC is associated with a second read transducer that accesses the one or more magnetic disks of the data storage drive independently of the first read transducer. The second SOC has a second read channel operable to receive second data from the second read transducer. The first and second SOCs are coupled via a data bus that facilitates communicating the first and second data to a host via a first host interface.
