    摘要: The technology disclosed herein pertains to a method for determining expected command completion time (CCT), the method including receiving a plurality of position error signals (PESs) for an HDD over a predetermined time period, determining sigma of the plurality of PESs, retrieving upper off-track limits (UOL) for one or more data sectors of the HDD, calculating average number of retrieved sectors (A) between two consecutive occurrences of the |PES|>UOL for the HDD, and determining required number of revolutions (CCT) to collect data based on the average number of retrieved data sectors (A) and a total number of requested data sectors (N).

    摘要: A method involves determining a threshold error rate that will result on data stored on a magnetic disk surface of a disk drive being unrecoverable. The method also involves determining a seek velocity that will overwrite sufficient portions of the data such the data will exhibit at least the threshold error rate. The disk drive performs at least one traversal of the magnetic disk surface with a head of the disk drive that emits an erase field during the at least one traversal at the seek velocity. The at least one traversal sanitizes the data.

    摘要: Systems and methods for maximizing shingled magnetic recording (SMR) drive capacity are described. In one embodiment, the SMR drive may include a main store to store user-accessible data, a media cache and media scratchpad to store internal data temporarily for internal operations, and a storage controller to process read and write requests. In some cases, the main store comprises a shingled media partition and an unshingled media partition. The storage controller may designate one or more data tracks from the shingled media partition as temporary data track guard bands. In some embodiments, a track range is selected based at least in part on at least one of an amount of data in the media cache, a size of the new data in the media cache, and an association between the new data in the media cache and data currently stored within the selected track range.
