摘要： A disk drive is disclosed including a disk comprising a plurality of refresh zones, and a head actuated over the disk. The disk drive further comprises control circuitry for receiving access commands from a host. The control circuitry refreshes a refresh zone in a plurality of segments with an interval between each segment, and processes at least one of the access commands during the interval between at least two of the segments, wherein a size of each segment and the interval ensures an average throughput of access commands received from the host does not fall below a first threshold.

摘要： A video system for presenting content from a content provider to a user includes a tuner to select a program from a plurality of programs. The tuner outputs the selected program at an analog output when the selected program is represented by an analog signal. An analog output port is coupled to the analog output of the tuner, and is configured to be connectable to a storage device to record the selected program represented by an analog signal. An analog signal processing circuit is coupled to the analog output of the tuner to receive the analog signal representing the selected program from the tuner and to generate a digital representation of the analog signal. A first interface module is configured to be connectable to the storage device to receive recorded programs from the storage device. An overlay module is coupled to the analog signal processing circuit and to the first interface module. The overlay module selectively overlays information to a program received from one of the analog signal processing circuit and the first interface module.

摘要： The present invention may be regarded as a video recording system and method of transferring a non-time-critical, error-intolerant data segment stored on a disk drive, which is responsive to a set of data transfer commands generated by a host processor and which is operating in a mode optimized for transferring time-critical, error-tolerant streaming data segments stored or to be stored on the disk drive. The method includes sending a sequence of data transfer commands generated by the host processor to the disk drive to transfer a respective sequence of time-critical, error-tolerant streaming data segments at a required data transfer rate. The method further includes selectively interposing a first data transfer command into the sequence of data transfer commands, the first data transfer command initiating a first transfer of the non-time-critical, error-intolerant data segment from a first storage location. The method further includes transmitting a data transfer error signal generated by the disk drive to the host processor, the data transfer error signal having a state that indicates whether any data transfer errors have occurred with respect to the first transfer of the non-time-critical, error-intolerant data segment. The method further includes selectively interposing a second data transfer command into the sequence of data transfer commands, the second data transfer command initiating a second transfer of the non-time-critical, error-intolerant data segment from a second storage location, thereby utilizing storage redundancy to achieve an accuracy required for the non-time-critical, error-intolerant data segment while maintaining the required data transfer rate of the sequence of time-critical, error-tolerant data segments.

摘要： A digital video recorder (DVR) for use with a monitor and a set top box (STB) is disclosed. The STB demodulates program data from a program signal received over a communication channel and generates a STB graphical user interface (GUI). The DVR comprises a local memory for storing the program data received from the STB, a DVR interface for communicating with the STB, and a DVR controller. The DVR controller generates a DVR GUI, and in response to user input, communicates with the STB to coordinate whether the STB GUI or the DVR GUI is displayed on the monitor.

摘要： The present invention is directed to systems and methods for opportunistically defragmenting a data storage device during garbage collection. During garbage collection, valid data is identified and cached in a buffer assigned to the garbage collection process. When the buffer has been filled or reached a threshold, the valid data in the buffer is then coalesced and rewritten back to the data storage medium. In addition, a translation table is reduced by updating its entries to indicate the new locations of the coalesced valid data.

摘要： A hybrid drive is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of data tracks, and a non-volatile semiconductor memory (NVSM) comprising a plurality of memory segments. When a life remaining of the NVSM falls below a threshold, the NVSM is marked as read only. When a write command is received from a host including write data, and when the NVSM is marked as read only, the write data is written to the disk and a corresponding memory segment in the NVSM is invalidated.

摘要： A disk drive is disclosed comprising a non-volatile write cache and a head actuated over a disk. A plurality of write commands are received from a host, wherein each write command comprises write data. A workload for a non-cache area of the disk is determined, and when the workload for the non-cache area of the disk is less than a threshold independent of a workload for the write cache, substantially all of the write data is stored in the non-cache area of the disk. When the workload for the non-cache area of the disk is greater than the threshold independent of the workload for the write cache, a first percentage of the write data is stored in the non-volatile write cache and a second percentage of the write data is stored in the non-cache area of the disk, wherein the first percentage is proportional to the workload for the non-cache area of the disk.
