摘要:
A method for dividing a data area on a disk into a plurality of concentric zones and determining a format for each zone so that data tracks in the zone have the same number of data sectors. The method includes dividing a data area into a plurality of zones with provisional boundaries. The method also includes determining a linear recording density for a selected zone. The method further includes selecting the number of data sectors per data track corresponding to the determined linear recording density from specified values. Moreover, the method includes resetting a boundary of the zone at a new boundary shifted from the provisional boundary according to a selected value.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a magnetic disk drive capable of achieving error recovery stably in a simple configuration in the event of thermal asperity (TA) and minimizing the error recovery time required, and a method for controlling the disk drive. According to one embodiment, if TA occurs, a cutoff frequency of a high-pass filter to which a data read signal is input is first increased and a loop gain of a low-order finite impulse response (FIR) filter connected in series to an FIR filter is also increased as high as possible. Next, a Viterbi decoder to which a signal is input from the low-order FIR filter provides feedback to the low-order FIR filter so that an input signal error becomes a minimum. Tap coefficients of the low-order FIR filter are thus optimized.

Disclosed is a data storage device to provide servo patterns of a track pitch individually consistent with head characteristics (writing width, and reading width) in a recording medium of a hard disk device. The data storage device is provided with a disk having pitch information indicating a track pitch recorded in a predetermined area, and a head for scanning the disk to read the TPI ID and reading/writing data from/in the disk by being subjected to seeking control based on the TPI ID. The TPI ID is recorded as a part of a servo pattern in a TPI ID embedded area provided in an outer periphery of a data area of the disk.

A method for controlling write current to a write head during data write on a hard disk drive is disclosed. A direct access storage device includes a rotating storage medium in which data are magnetically written, a write head for writing data in the rotating storage medium, and a write current control circuit for changing write current-value settings to be supplied to the write head according to a predetermined elapsed time from the beginning of a write operation.
摘要:
The read/write offset between the read head and write head is used to determine the head width ratio between the read head width and write head width. The servo information is written onto the magnetic disk in accordance with the APC value and track pitch that are derived from the determined head with ratio.

Embodiments of the invention provide a magnetic disk drive that does not generate errors when information is read even if considerable time has elapsed after the information was written on the magnetic disk. In one embodiment, a magnetic disk has a storage area divided into a plurality of sectors ST1. Time stamps TP1 corresponding to each sector data m1 stored in the sectors ST1 are stored in a time stamp recording medium. A processor controls the magnetic disk drive to read time stamps TP2 of sector data m2 stored in any sectors ST2 of the sectors ST1 and refresh sector data m3 selected based on an elapsed time calculated from information about the time when the time stamps are read and the time stamps TP2.
