    摘要: A disk device includes a recording medium having a plurality of recording surfaces, where each of the recording surfaces includes a system region for recording system data related to an operation of the disk device, and a controller configured to control recording of the system data in the system region. The controller is further configured to divide the system data to be recorded into a plurality of portions of divided data of the same size. The controller is further configured, after recording of a first portion of divided data in a first system region disposed on a first recording surface, to start recording a second portion of divided data in a second system region disposed on a second recording surface. The recording of the second portion of divided data is started after a switching time, during which switching from the first recording surface to the second recording surface transpires.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and architectures for providing fast, independent, and reliable retrieval of system data (e.g., metadata) from a storage system, which enables minimal degradation in the reliability of user data. Methods generally include encoding the system data at least twice, at least once independently and at least once jointly along with user data. Methods can also include decoding the system data first, and upon a decoding failure, jointly decoding the system data and the user data.

    摘要: In a controller of a tape drive, when a command processing unit receives a Write FM0 command, a channel input/output unit writes the data in the buffer and a speculative FM onto the tape, and a CM input/output unit records speculative FM presence information in a cartridge memory. When the command processing unit receives Write FM1 command next, the CM input/output unit erases the speculative FM presence information from the cartridge memory. When the command processing unit receives a command other than Write FM1 command next, the channel input/output unit overwrites a speculative FM.

    摘要: An information storage medium, and a recording/reproducing apparatus and method, the information storage medium including a plurality of recording layers, each layer including a lead-in area or a lead-out area, a data area, a middle area, and a dedicated area, wherein the data area is flexibly allocated according to data capacity to be recorded in each of the recording layers, the middle area is allocated behind the data area, and the dedicated area is allocated behind the middle area. The dedicated area for a special purpose may selectively be allocated in an outer circumferential area of the information storage medium, i.e., an optical disk including a plurality of recording layers. In particular, optical disks in various formats are provided in which dedicated areas for special purposes can selectively be allocated in outer circumferential areas of the optical disks depending on recording characteristics of the optical disks and the outer circumferential areas.

    摘要: When moving image data or the like is recorded into an information recording medium, such as a flash memory, in real time, an influence of locations of free recording areas upon the recording speed is suppressed to ensure the real time performance of the data recording. In an access apparatus, there is provided an area management block control part that manages FAT1 and FAT2, which are area management information of a nonvolatile memory, on a FAT block-by-FAT block basis, and the length of the free recording area in each FAT block is calculated. Then, area management block information, in which the free recording area length in each FAT block is recorded, is generated on a RAM. A FAT block in which the free recording area length exceeds a threshold value is assigned to the data recording, thereby suppressing the number of updates of the area management information regardless of the location of the free areas. In this way, the buffer overflow can be prevented from occurring due to a high frequency of the updating of the area management information, thereby ensuring the real time performance during the data recording.
