    摘要: A method for registering a defect map within a hard disk drive is disclosed. A hard disk drive includes a recording disk, a head assembly, and a controller. Multiple sectors are formed on the recording disk, and the head assembly includes a head for reading/writing data from/to the recording disk. The controller, which controls the head assembly to read/write data from/to the recording disk, includes a defect sector positional information holding device and a sector identification device. The defect sector positional information holding device holds positional information of a defect sector disabled to read/write data therefrom/thereto the recording disk. The positional information includes the number of the defect sectors continued in a circumferential direction and in a radial direction of the recording disk. The sector identification device refers to the positional information of the defect sector so as to identify a target sector from/in which data is to be read/written when a read/write command is received from a host computer.

    摘要: An error recovery procedure (ERP) in a storage device such as a rotating magnetic hard disk drive is executed to the last step regardless of the established time-out period for an instruction, thereby more reliably recovering from errors. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, when a disk drive receives a reset instruction from a host during the execution of an ERP, it executes the ERP until the error is recovered, or to the last step without interrupting the ERP. Further, in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, when a disk drive receives a reset instruction during the execution of an ERP, it stops execution of the ERP and holds the number K of the step which was completed immediately before stopping, and when receiving a retry instruction after that, sequentially executes the ERP from the K+1-th error recovery step.

    摘要: To decrease the number of read errors of a storage device due to bus noise when data is transferred between a host apparatus and the storage device. When a read error due to bus noise is detected, transfer of data to a host apparatus is temporarily stopped when executing rereading to eliminate bus noise which is a cause of the read error. In a preferred embodiment bus noise errors are distinguished by looking at the frequency of errors and the retry count for the previous error. The error is detected as a bus noise error if the frequency is above a threshold and the retry count is below a threshold. Data transfer can be restarted when a buffer becomes full or when the reading of the data is successfully completed.
