摘要:
A data recording method comprising the steps of encoding user data into first error correcting codes having a first correction capability, encoding control information into second error correcting codes having a second correction capability higher than the first correction capability, generating a data stream containing the first error correcting code, the second error correcting code, and synchronization signals, wherein the second error correcting codes and the synchronization signals alternatively interleave the first error correcting codes, and recording the data stream.

A disk drive has two channels of upper interfaces, and one channel is connected to a disk array controller, and the other channel is connected between a plurality of disk drives. A data disk drive reads the old data on the recording medium, calculates the exclusive OR of the old data and the corresponding data from the disk array controller, and transfers it to a parity disk as pseudoparity data from the other channel. The parity disk drive reads the old parity data on the recording medium, calculates the exclusive OR of the old parity data and the pseudo-parity data, and writes it as new parity data.
摘要:
An optical disc having marks for dispersed addresses that can be easily detected with high precision. A dispersed address comprises synchronization marks, positive marks, and negative marks. Synchronization marks, positive marks, and negative marks are formed along a groove as partial discontinuities or partial modifications in the wobbled groove.

An information recording medium of the present invention includes: a volume space in which user data is recorded; a spare area including a replacement area which may be used in place of a defective area included in the volume space; and a defect management information area in which defect management information for managing the defective area is recorded. The defect management information includes status information indicating whether the defective area is replaced by the replacement area.
摘要:
A memory system and method of operating the same is described, where the memory systenris used to store data in a RAIDed manner. The stored data may be retrieved, including the parity data so that the stored data is recovered when the first of either the stored data without the parity data, or the stored data from all but one memory module and the parity data, has been received. The writing of data, for low write data loads, is managed such that only one of the memory modules of a RAID stripe is being written to, or erased, during a time interval.
