    摘要: A control module includes an encoder module, which generates a first code word for multiple drives. A detector module, in response to detecting an error in a first drive subsequent to generation of the first code word, initiates replacement of the first drive with a second drive. The encoder module generates a second code word for the second drive. A mapping module maps physical locations of data in the drives to logical locations of the first code word, assigns a predetermined value to one of the logical locations corresponding to the first drive to identify an unused logical location, and assigns the unused logical location to the second drive based on the predetermined value. A difference module generates a third code word based on the first and second code words. The encoder module generates an updated code word for the multiple drives based on the first and third code words.

    摘要: A system includes a first filter generating a first output signal based on an input signal. The first filter includes N tap weight coefficients, where N is an integer greater than 1. A first device updates the N tap weight coefficients of the first filter. A second filter generates a second output signal in response to the first output signal. The second filter includes M tap weight coefficients, where M is an integer greater than 1 and less than N. A second device determines a value of a first one of the M tap weight coefficients for each of multiple sampling times of the input signal. The second device updates the first one of the M tap weight coefficients based on the values of the first one of the M tap weight coefficients, a first gain constant, and a change in timing phase error of the first filter.

    摘要: A storage system includes a first buffer configured to store a first repeatable runout profile (RRP) for a sector of a rotating storage medium. A second buffer is configured to store a second RRP for the sector. A controller: controls a servo of the rotating storage medium based on the first RRP during a first revolution of the rotating storage medium; and learns the second RRP (i) while operating in a track-following mode, and (ii) during the first revolution. The controller ceases learning of the second RRP when one of (i) the controller is operating in a seek mode and (ii) the rotating storage medium is in an off-track state. Subsequent to the first revolution of the rotating storage medium and based on whether the learning of the second RRP was stopped during the first revolution, the controller replaces the first RRP with the second RRP in the first buffer.
