A diskarray system has a diskarray controller and a plurality of disk devices. Each of the disk devices has a media, a head, and a head position controller. The diskarray controller performs online data check operation, and stops the online data check operation over the disk device at first predetermined timing. After stopping the online data check operation, the diskarray controller issues an unload enable command to the disk device so as to move the head to a position different from positions at which the head reads or writes data from or to the media. The head position controller of the disk device moves the position of the head on the basis of the received unload enable command.

A disk array system having first and second housings and a controller for controlling the first and second housings. Fiber channel hard disk drives are received in the first housing, and serial ATA hard disk drives are received in the second housing. When reading data stored in a serial ATA hard disk drive in the second housing, the controller reads a plurality of pieces of data including the data to be read and parity data for the plurality of pieces of data from all the hard disk drives of an RAID group to which the hard disk drive storing the data to be read belongs. Thus, the controller examines whether the plurality of pieces of data including the data to be read are written in the hard disk drives with erroneous contents or not.

A magnetic disk drive has a housing for a 3.5 inch form factor and disk media of a diameter for a 2.5 inch form factor. The smaller disk media rotate at a high speed while consuming low electric lower and generating less heat while providing for quick access speeds. Usually, when the magnetic disk media are rotated at a higher speed, the electric power consumption and heat generation are increased because of the load increase. This problem is avoided with the use of cooling fins placed about the periphery of the disk media. Further, the smaller size disk media enable a decrease in torque loss during on-load rotation with the media, and a decrease of electric current to the spindle motor during rotation.

One code (a compressed redundant code) is created based on a plurality of first redundant codes, each created on the basis of a plurality of data units, and this compressed redundant code is written to a nonvolatile storage area. This compressed redundant code is used to restore either a data element constituting a multiple-failure data, or a first redundant code corresponding to the multiple-failure data, which is stored in an unreadable sub-storage area of a partially failed storage device, and to restore the data element constituting the multiple-failure data which is stored in a sub-storage area of a completely failed storage device, based on the restored either data element or first redundant code, and either another data element constituting the multiple-failure data or the first redundant code corresponding to the multiple-failure data.

In a magnetic recording drive having a plurality of magnetic heads each employing a magnetoresistive sensor for the purpose of averaging the time required for sense currents to be caused to flow through the respective magnetoresistive sensors to shorten the longest reproducing time and to suppress the degradation of the characteristics due to the electromigration, thereby improving the reliability of the magnetic recording drive, the magnetic recording drive includes circuits for averaging the useful life depending on the currents caused to flow through the respective magnetoresistive sensors among the plurality of magnetic heads, whereby the time required for the sense current to be caused to flow through one MR reproducing head is greatly shortened. Therefore, the levels of outputs of the MR reproducing heads can be increased without reduction of the reliability and thus the reliability of the magnetic recording drive can be improved.

An electronic apparatus, such as a disk apparatus, has a plurality of electronic units such as magnetic head-disk units and at least one power source unit for supplying power to the electronic units. The arrangement of the electronic apparatus is such that, on a frame of the apparatus, the plurality of electronic units are vertically arranged in such a manner as to form a first arrangement system, while the at least one power source unit is arranged in such a manner as to form a second arrangement system above the first arrangement system. The apparatus has an air flow passage for causing cooling air to flow from a lower portion of the electronic apparatus to the inside thereof, pass through the first arrangement system, thereby pass through the second arrangement system, and then be discharged to the outside of the apparatus. This arrangement enables cooling air to flow in a simplified manner, which in turn enhances the cooling efficiency, and also enables electrically connecting cables to be arranged in a simple wiring system.
摘要:
Because of increase in data recording density on a magnetic disk in recent years, a minute defect which posed no problem in the past exerts adverse influence upon the recording and reproducing characteristics. An object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for detecting minute defects on a magnetic disk. In order to achieve this object, the present invention was made on the basis of the recognition that a large defect on the magnetic disk largely decreases the amplitude of the reproduced signal and shifts its phase, whereas a small defect does not decrease the amplitude of the reproduced signal so largely but causes a phase shift. Therefore, defects on the magnetic disk are detected by monitoring the amplitude decrease and phase shift of the reproduced signal.
