Abstract:
A storage device includes a controller configured to adjusts direct offline scan (DOS) parameters for a scan of a storage region based on a workload affecting the storage region to mitigate data loss due to adjacent track interference (ATI) while also mitigating performance delays due to DOS execution. In one implementation, a type of workload occurring in a region is determined by assessing a distribution of write track counter values corresponding to data tracks in the region.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for redundant write transfer detection are described. In one embodiment, the systems and methods may include identifying a starting logical block address (LBA) associated with a request to write a first data set to the storage device, storing the first data set on a storage medium of the storage device, storing the identified starting LBA of the first data set in a memory associated with the storage device, identifying a starting LBA associated with a request to write a second data set to the storage device, comparing the starting LBA of the second data set to the starting LBA of the first data set stored in the memory, and upon identifying a match between the starting LBA of the second data set and the starting LBA of the first data set, suspending the request to write the second data set to the storage device.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for adaptively mitigating adjacent track interference (ATI) effects on a data recording medium. In some embodiments, a write count value is accumulated for a first track responsive to successive writes to a second track on the data recording medium. For each of the successive writes, the accumulated write count value for the first track is incremented by a different variable amount based on temperature. The first track is refreshed responsive to the accumulated write count reaching a selected threshold value.
