摘要:
A data storage device determines a zone layout based on a quality evaluation factor. The zone layout is designed such that a measurement value of the quality evaluation factor for each track in each zone is within a range between a predetermined upper limit and a predetermined lower limit and a maximum amount of variation of the measurement value within each zone is substantially equal to a difference between the upper limit and the lower limit.
