摘要： Outer code words can span multiple data blocks, multiple die, or multiple chips of a memory device to protect against errors in the data stored in the blocks, die and/or chips. A solid state memory device is arranged in multiple data blocks, each block including an array of memory cells arranged in a plurality of pages. The data is encoded into inner code words and symbol-based outer code words. The inner code words and the symbol-based outer code words are stored in the memory cells of the multiple blocks. One or more inner code words are stored in each page of each block and one or more symbols of each outer code word are stored in at least one page of each block. The inner code words and the outer code words are read from the memory device and are used to correct the errors in the data.

摘要： A nominal reference read operation compares analog voltages of the memory cells to at least one nominal reference voltage. A shifted reference read operation compares the analog voltages of the memory cells to at least one shifted reference voltage that is shifted from the nominal reference voltage to compensate for an expected change in the analog voltages of the memory cells. Data stored in the memory cells is decoded by a first decoding process that uses the information from either the nominal reference read operation or the shifted reference read operation. The data stored in the memory cells is decoded by a second decoding process that uses the information from both the nominal reference read operation and the shifted reference read operation.

摘要： A method and apparatus for bandwidth balancing of data transfer operations between a computer and a storage subsystem are disclosed. The storage subsystem contains a number of storage devices such as magnetic disk drives. Data to be stored is supplied by the computer to the storage subsystem in the form of a transfer unit through a communication channel. The storage subsystem divides the transfer unit into a number of stripes of a pre-determined size. Each stripe is allocated to a separate disk drive whose disk surfaces are formatted into a number of track bands. Each track band is composed of several contiguous tracks associated with the same data transfer rate. Each stripe is then stored on its disk drive within a selected track band. Both data storage and retrieval from each disk drive occur at the data transfer rate associated with the accessed track band. Since all the stripes in the transfer unit are transferred to their disk drives simultaneously, the transfer operation occurs at an aggregate transfer rate equal to the sum of the individual track band transfer rates. The storage subsystem selects the track bands on each disk drive in such a manner as to ensure that the data transfer operation occurs at an aggregate transfer rate within a pre-determined bandwidth range of the communication channel bandwidth.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于计算机和存储子系统之间的数据传送操作的带宽平衡的方法和装置。存储子系统包含许多存储设备，如磁盘驱动器。要存储的数据由计算机通过通信信道以传送单元的形式提供给存储子系统。存储子系统将传送单元划分成预定大小的多个条带。每个条带都分配到单独的磁盘驱动器，其磁盘表面格式化为多个磁道段。每个轨道带由与相同数据传输速率相关联的几个连续轨道组成。然后将每个条带存储在其选定的轨道带内的其磁盘驱动器上。来自每个磁盘驱动器的数据存储和检索都是以与所访问的磁道带相关联的数据传输速率进行的。由于传送单元中的所有条带同时被传送到它们的磁盘驱动器，所以传输操作以等于各个磁带传输速率之和的总传输速率发生。存储子系统以这样的方式选择每个磁盘驱动器上的轨道带，以确保数据传输操作以通信信道带宽的预定带宽范围内的总传输速率发生。

摘要： Multiple logical pages are jointly encoded into a single code word and are stored in the same physical page of a solid state non-volatile memory (NVM) device having multi-level memory cells. A first logical page of the multiple logical pages is stored in the memory device as first bits of the multi-level memory cells while a second logical page of the multiple logical pages is temporarily cached. After the first logical page is stored as the first bits of the memory cell, the second logical page is stored as second bits of the memory cells.

摘要： Methods and systems for accessing encoded data stored in a solid state non-volatile memory device include iteratively demodulating and decoding the data. The memory device includes memory cells arranged to store multiple bits of data per memory cell. The memory cells are capable of storing multiple pages of data. Each bit stored in a memory cell is associated with a page of data that is different from other pages associated with other bits stored in the memory cell. The multiple pages are demodulated responsive to sensed voltage levels of the memory cells, and a demodulated output is provided for each page of the multiple pages. A decoded output for each page of the multiple pages is generated. Decoding the page and demodulating the multiple pages proceeds iteratively, including an exchange of information between the decoder and the demodulator.

摘要： Momentary contact with a defect site of a data storage disk or free particle by a magnetoresistive read element of a flying head causes momentary heating and unwanted increase in element resistance (thermal asperity) which can disrupt hard disk drive data reading operations. Since the disk carries a predetermined data format, the disk drive controller correlates location of a thermal asperity to the format and thereupon selects from several available thermal asperity recovery methods a method most likely to minimize thermal asperity effect upon disk drive operation during rereading of data at the thermal asperity location.

摘要： A disk in a disk drive has radial spokes wherein servo bursts are recorded, and multiple concentric bands holding data blocks in pre-defined block frames. To maximize data density, the data rate in each band is proportional to the band radius, and the ratio of block frames to spokes in a given band may be non-integral. In such bands, some data blocks are split by a spoke. A disk controller in the disk drive uses a byte position accumulator (BPA) when splitting a data block. During the transfer of a data block, the BPA counts at the nominal data transfer rate to continually identify by its position in the data block a byte therein to be transferred shortly. The BPA output feeds a latch which is normally open to receive the BPA output. A timer within the disk controller establishes the rotational time at which the data transfer must be suspended to avoid a spoke. The timer generates an early warning signal in advance of this time which closes the latch. The value in the closed latch is the position of the last data byte to be transferred before the split. A comparator indicates when a count of bytes transferred has reached the value in the latch; the data transfer is then suspended until the spoke has passed.
摘要翻译：磁盘驱动器中的磁盘具有径向轮辐，其中记录伺服脉冲串，以及在预定义的帧帧中保持数据块的多个同心磁带。为了最大化数据密度，每个频带中的数据速率与频带半径成比例，并且给定频带中的帧帧与轮辐的比率可以是非积分的。在这样的频带中，一些数据块被辐条分开。在分割数据块时，磁盘驱动器中的磁盘控制器使用字节位置累加器（BPA）。在传输数据块期间，BPA以标称数据传输速率进行计数，以通过其在数据块中的位置来连续识别其中的一个字节，以便在短时间内传送。 BPA输出提供一个通常打开以接收BPA输出的锁存器。磁盘控制器中的定时器建立必须暂停数据传输的旋转时间，以避免辐条。该定时器在此时间之前产生一个关闭闩锁的早期警告信号。闭锁中的值是分割前要传输的最后一个数据字节的位置。一个比较器指示传输的字节数是否已经达到锁存中的值; 然后暂停数据传输，直到辐条通过。
