    摘要: A mass storage system made of flash electrically erasable and programmable read only memory (“EEPROM”) cells organized into blocks, the blocks in turn being grouped into memory banks, is managed to even out the numbers of erase and rewrite cycles experienced by the memory banks in order to extend the service lifetime of the memory system. Since this type of memory cell becomes unusable after a finite number of erase and rewrite cycles, although in the tens of thousands of cycles, uneven use of the memory banks is avoided so that the entire memory does not become inoperative because one of its banks has reached its end of life while others of the banks are little used. Relative use of the memory banks is monitored and, in response to detection of uneven use, have their physical addresses periodically swapped for each other in order to even out their use over the lifetime of the memory.

    摘要: A disk drive is disclosed which executes a rotational position optimization (RPO) algorithm for selecting a next command to execute out of a plurality of pending commands. The RPO algorithm comprises a first phase and a second phase. The first phase of the RPO algorithm is executed relative to a first priority and in response to at least one non-real-time parameter. The second phase of the RPO algorithm is executed relative to a second priority higher than the first priority and in response to at least one real-time parameter.

    摘要: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk having a plurality of tracks, and a head actuated over the disk. Control circuitry heats the head in order to reduce a fly-height of the head, and computes a target servo sector to begin a preheat period. The control circuitry decreases the heat so that the fly-height is increased during at least part of a seek operation to seek the head from a first track to a second track. When the head reaches the target servo sector, the control circuitry increases the heat to decrease the fly-height during the preheat period.
