    摘要: A first data group in an access sequence is selected based on which data group in the data groups has a beginning closest to a current position of the tape medium. Those data groups located in specified regions of the tape medium are separated from other data groups located in alternative specified regions of the tape medium. The distance from the current position of the tape medium is set to be a logical distance value, determined by a calculation function, that is substituted for the physical distance value for the data groups that are located in the specified regions as compared with other data groups located in the alternative specified regions. A second data group in the access sequence is selected based on which remaining data group in the data groups has a beginning closest to an end of the first data group in the access sequence.

    摘要: A tape drive capable of switching the transport speed of a tape medium among multilevel speeds calculates a data transfer rate from/to a host device, and selects an adjustment mode of the transport speed of the tape medium from a constant speed mode and a speed switch mode according to the calculated data transfer rate. The tape drive in the speed switch mode, pauses a data write or read operation to switch the transport speed of the tape medium while data is written at a first transport speed and when an available capacity of a buffer memory reaches a data volume to be received from the host device during switching of the transport speed and is read out at the first transport speed and when a data volume of a buffer memory reaches a data volume to be transmitted to the host device during switching of the transport speed.

    摘要: Various embodiments for writing received synchronized data to magnetic tape having a plurality of wraps using a magnetic tape drive adapted for performing the writing according to an available plurality of predefined tape speeds are provided. In one such embodiment, for each of the available plurality of predefined tape speeds, an average overhead per synchronized command for performing a recursively accumulated backhitchless flush (RABF) cycle is calculated. One of the available plurality of predefined tape speeds having a lowest calculated average overhead is selected. The RABF cycle is performed using the selected one of the available plurality of predefined tape speeds.
