    摘要: The present invention provides a magnetic head for erasing data on a magnetic tape, the magnetic head comprising a body having an elongate magnet mounted thereon, and a plurality of magnetisable portions in magnetisable communication with the magnet, the plurality of magnetisable portions being aligned with the elongate magnet and forming at least a portion of a substantially planar external surface of the magnetic head. The present invention further provides a method and system for erasing data on a magnetic tape using said magnetic head

    摘要: A method for writing a file from an application of a host onto a tape includes sequentially receiving records forming the file from the application, adding a predetermined number of segments of dummy data (dummy records) subsequently to the plurality of records forming the file such that the records of the file and records of a subsequent file are not included in the same data set, interposing the dummy records between a final record of the file and a head record of the subsequent (next) file, to thereby construct at least one data set that is adjacent to one data set and does not include the records of the file, and writing a data set including the records of the file, a data set (dummy data set) including the final record of the file and the dummy records, and a data set including the subsequent file, onto the tape.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a tape drive includes a magnetic head having a plurality of read sensors, each read sensor being configured to read data simultaneously, a controller, and logic integrated with and/or executable by the controller. The logic is configured to read, using the plurality of read sensors, encoded data from a plurality of tracks of a magnetic tape medium simultaneously. The logic is also configured to perform track-dependent erasure decoding on the encoded data based on detection of one or more time-varying signal quality issues associated with at least one of the plurality of tracks read simultaneously from the magnetic tape medium.
