    摘要: The present invention pertains to an apparatus and method for recording data in a data storage medium. The data storage medium includes a number of discs, each having at least one recording surface. Each recording surface is associated with a read/write head that records and accesses data from the surface. Each recording surface is partitioned into a number of zones. Each zone is vertically aligned with a same zone on each surface of each disc. The zone boundaries on all surfaces of the disc drive are the same. The recording frequency for each zone on all surfaces can differ for each read/write head in order to compensate for a read/write head that cannot meet the BPI error rate threshold.

    摘要: The present invention pertains to an apparatus and method for recording data in a variable bit density disc drive. The disc drive includes a recording surfaces, each having a corresponding head for recording data on the recording surface. At least one head is operated at a different recording frequency from the other heads, creating a variable bit density for the different recording surfaces. The combination of head recording frequencies is determined following an error testing operation and a unique physdisc lookup table is created based on the determined recording frequencies. The physdisc lookup table is used to allocate data sectors and to convert between logical and physical block addresses.

    摘要: A disc drive includes a base and a disc rotatably attached to the base. The disc drive is formatted by obtaining a list of defective sector entries, determining a first location of selected information based on skipping the defective sectors within the list of defective sector entries, and calculating a second location for selected information. At least one sector to skip is added before the second location of selected information to move the selected information from the first position to the second position. The added sectors may be designated as defective sectors. By adding the at least one sector to skip, the second position of the information is moved or slipped.

    摘要: In a particular embodiment, a controller is disclosed that is adapted to control read/write access to a storage media. The controller includes data corruption detection logic to reconstruct a logical block address (LBA) lookup table from metadata stored at the storage media upon restart and re-initialization after a power loss event. The controller further includes duplicate conflict resolution logic to identify a valid data block from multiple data blocks that refer to a single LBA. The duplicate conflict resolution logic counts a first number of valid physical pages and a second number of different sectors in each of the multiple data blocks. The duplicate conflict resolution logic selects the valid data block from the multiple data blocks based on at least one of the first and second numbers.

    摘要: In a particular embodiment, a controller is adapted to control read/write access to a storage media including a pre-allocated area having multiple meta-blocks. The controller includes logic adapted to control the multiple meta-blocks as a first in first out (FIFO) circular queue. The logic selects one or more meta-blocks from the multiple meta-blocks based on an order associated with the FIFO circular queue and selectively writes a logical block address (LBA) mapping table to the selected one or more meta-blocks.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of describing defects that requires less memory space than conventional methods. Entries of a first defect table are sorted according to the type of track layout, or zones. They are then grouped into clusters. Each cluster is characterized by a set of new parameters, including a starting sector, a scratch parameter, a span parameter, and an angle parameter. The new parameters are stored in a second table, replacing the corresponding entries in the first table. In this manner, a single entry in the second table replaces one or more entries in the first table with one entry in the first table.
