摘要:
A data storage device has multiple storage media surfaces and corresponding heads, each storage media surface includes multiple regions, and each head is for recording on and playback of information from a corresponding storage media surface. A method of defining a storage format for the storage media surfaces includes reading data from each region on each storage media surface with the corresponding head, measuring a record/playback performance of each head for each region on each corresponding storage media surface based on the data read from the regions, and selecting a track density for each region on each storage media surface based on the measured record/playback performance of the corresponding head for the region.

A disk drive has multiple disk surfaces and corresponding heads, each disk surface includes multiple regions, and each head is for recording on and playback of information from a corresponding disk surface. The data track density in a first region on a first disk surface is different than the data track density in a second region on a second disk surface, and the first and second regions are radially similarly situated regions. A method of sequentially accessing data in the first and second regions includes sequentially accessing data tracks in the first region and then sequentially accessing data tracks in the second region.

A method of defining storage format in a data storage device having a plurality of storage media and a plurality of corresponding data transducer heads, each transducer head for recording on and playback of information from a corresponding storage medium. A storage format is defined in at least one region on each storage medium, wherein each region includes a plurality of concentric tracks for recording on and playback of information. The method includes: moving each storage medium with respect to the corresponding transducer head and reading data from each storage medium with the corresponding transducer head; measuring a record/playback performance capability of each transducer head; selecting a group of track densities, one track density for each region on a storage medium, based on the measured record/playback performance capability of the corresponding transducer head.

A method for dynamic spiral ISR scheduling determines a dynamic delay with spiral to spiral spacing information of a disk, so as to ensure that the sum of a primary ISR time and a secondary ISR time does not exceed the wedge to wedge time. The ISR time may be scheduled to start after a delay for the sum of a static delay and the dynamic delay from an edge. A system for dynamic spiral ISR scheduling uses a dynamic delay determining unit to determine a dynamic delay, and an ISR scheduling unit to schedule the start of a secondary spiral set ISR based on a sum of the dynamic delay and a static delay.

Digital control of actively mode-locked lasers where an active feedback control system is implemented to include a digital processor such as a microprocessor. The digital processor digitally extracts noise information from multiple monitor signals generated from the laser output and digitally diagnoses the operating condition of the laser based on the noise information. Based on the operating condition of the laser, the digital processor generates control signals to adjust the laser cavity to establish or regain the mode locking condition and to maintain the mode locking by reducing the output noise.

A solid state drive (SSD) includes an SSD control module configured to determine frequencies corresponding to how often data stored in respective logical addresses associated with the SSD is updated and form groups of the logical addresses according to the frequencies, and a memory control module configured to rewrite the data to physical addresses in blocks of an SSD storage region based on the groups.

Methods, systems and computer program products for detecting an end of a reference spiral band are described. A first portion of servo information may be written on a disk using the reference spiral band. By detecting an end of a reference spiral band, a new reference spiral band may be launched. A read/write head of a hard disk drive may subsequently use the new spiral band to write the remaining portion of the servo information, which aids the writing of data tracks on the disk.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, are described for calibrating servos, and in some implementations for calibrating spiral servos for use in self servo write processes. In one aspect, a method is provided that includes measuring a slope of a spiral written to a machine readable medium, and adjusting a parameter in accordance with the measured slope to calibrate spacing of servo tracks, with respect to variation between a target slope and the measured slope for the spiral, for writing the servo tracks to the machine readable medium using the spiral as a reference and the adjusted parameter to generate a same radial spacing between servo tracks from spirals with different slopes.
