摘要： Embodiments of the present invention help to improve the capacity and the performance of a disk drive device. According to one embodiment, a data track pitch is set to each recording surface. The recording surfaces are divided into bands. A hard disk drive (HDD) sequentially moves a head to an adjacent data track in a band and performs a head switch at the band end in its data accessing. On a recording surface, the number of data tracks in each band is variable; and each band is constituted by different number of data tracks as necessary. The number of data tracks in each band is set so that the radial position of the band end comes close to the radial position of the corresponding band end on another recording surface. Accordingly, even if the recording surfaces have different variation rates of the data track pitch in the radial direction, increase in process time due to head switches can be suppressed.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention help to improve test processes for hard disk drives (HDDs) and increase the manufacturing efficiency of HDDs. According to one embodiment, a test process performs a test on an HDD with respect to a plurality of items and stores one or a plurality of test results. Moreover, it determines the optimum specification category to which the HDD is to belong based on the stored test results. One factor of the specifications—storage capacity—has been determined before the test process or is determined during the test process. The test process classifies HDDs with the same storage capacity into different specification categories, and this classification may be performed in a single test process. This achieves efficient manufacture of HDDs with different specifications corresponding to the diversified usage of HDDs.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention improve the cache hit ratio of read data. A hard disk drive (HDD) according to an embodiment of the present invention determines whether the read buffer should be used in its entirety or the partial continuous space should be used to read read-data from the magnetic disk. When the HDD determines use of the partial continuous space, the HDD specifies the sub-buffer which is a continuous space wherein the leading-end position and the trailing-end position are coupled to each other, and executes data writing to the sub-buffer in parallel with data reading from the sub-buffer and transmission thereof to the host. The sub-buffer capacity coincides with the data length of the back data.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a media drive capable of improving command processing performance by, when a plurality of commands is queued, shortening seek time and rotational latency, and also effectively making use of the shortened period of time. In one embodiment, a HDD includes a queue capable of storing a plurality of commands, and a queue manager for optimizing the execution order of the plurality of commands on the basis of whether or not the execution of each command requires access to a medium. The queue manager determines the execution order so that medium access processing of accessing a disk for execution, and data transfer processing of transferring data between the HDD and a host, are executed in parallel with each other. For example, read processing and transfer processing are executed in parallel with each other. The read processing is adaptive to read out a read command, data of which does not exist in the cache, from the disk into the cache. The transfer processing is adaptive to transfer a read command, data of which exists in the cache, to the host.

摘要： An external controller performs a thorough analysis and prediction on true requests from an application to issue a look-ahead request to an HDD or other auxiliary storage. An HDC card is connected to an HDD device which stores data and has a cache memory. The HDC card, which controls the HDD device, includes an access request tracer for tracing a true access request made by an application program executed by a host directly from the application program, a speculation request determination section for determining a speculation request to be expected later based on the traced true access request, and an HDC for issuing the determined speculation request to the HDD device.

摘要： Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide methods to record, in a rotating disk storage device, a data block in the unit of a logical sector on a recording medium on which a physical sector including a plurality of logical sectors is formatted. Extra addresses are acquired in a buffer to record write data blocks transferred from a host device. Data blocks are read from the recording medium in the unit of a physical sector. A skip read section discards data blocks having the same data blocks as the write data blocks by removing them from the read data blocks, and sends the remaining data blocks to the buffer. The buffer stores the data blocks in the order of recording in a physical sector.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention raise the performance of a HDD by controlling the timing of notifying of command completion. In one embodiment, transmission of command completion notifications to a host is managed by a host interface manager. If two data write addresses respectively for two queued commands are adjacent or near to each other, that is, these addresses on the magnetic disk can be accessed without rotational latency, the host interface manager postpones the transmission of a command completion notification (X) concerning the first write command (X). Two command completion notifications (X) and (Y) are performed at a time after the write data (Y) for the next command is transmitted and its write to the medium is completed.
