A signal detector is provided to detect symbols in a read back signal. The signal detector includes a first detector to generate raw decisions as a function of the read back signal and to generate at least one next best decision. A list-aided decoder generates the final decision based on both the raw decisions and the at least one next best decision from the first decoder.
