摘要： A RAID system is provided which can be implemented as a hardware RAID system while avoiding certain shortcomings of previous RAID systems. The RAID system makes it possible to avoid or reduce the number of buffers or processors and can take advantage of drive logic to achieve RAID functions or enhancements. RAID functionality can be provided in a manner to accommodate one or more ATA drive interfaces. To avoid drive replacement problems, host requests for drive serial numbers are responded to with a mirror serial number. In one embodiment, the read address is used to select which drive will perform a read operation.

摘要： A method and apparatus for compensating for non-linearities due to pivot bearing friction when determining embedded runout correction values during partial self-servo write of a disk drive is disclosed. In one embodiment, the disk drive includes a disk surface having a track written thereon and the track has some written-in runout. The written-in runout that is associated with high-frequencies is determined using a first technique. The written-in runout for the track that is associated with low frequencies is determined using a second technique. Results from the two techniques are combined in order to determine embedded runout correction values for the track when partial self-servo writing, in order to reduce error propagation when writing additional tracks.

摘要： A method and apparatus for dynamically detecting write fault errors is provided. According to the invention, transducer head control parameters are adjusted according to observed events. For instance, off-track events of a certain magnitude may trigger the implementation of a severe shock timer, which lengthens the delay between the off-track event and allowing write operations to resume, as compared to the standard off-track timer. According to another embodiment of the present invention, a lower write fault threshold is implemented following an off-track event of sufficient magnitude. According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the average or accumulated position error of the transducer head is monitored, and a lower write fault threshold implemented if the average position error exceeds a threshold value. The present invention's provision of a method and apparatus that enables transducer head control parameters to be modified in response to observed off-track events allows the disk drive to provide high resistance to data loss without significant detrimental effects on the data throughput performance of the disk drive.
摘要翻译：提供了用于动态检测写入故障错误的方法和装置。根据本发明，根据观察到的事件来调整传感器头控制参数。例如，与标准离线定时器相比，具有一定幅度的偏离轨迹事件可能触发实施严重的冲击定时器，其延长了偏离轨道事件之间的延迟并允许写入操作恢复。根据本发明的另一个实施例，在足够大的偏离轨迹事件之后实现较低写入故障阈值。根据本发明的另一个实施例，监测换能器头的平均或累积的位置误差，并且如果平均位置误差超过阈值，则实现较低的写入故障阈值。本发明提供一种能够响应于观察到的偏离轨道事件来修改传感器头部控制参数的方法和装置，使得磁盘驱动器能够对数据丢失提供高抵抗力，而不会对磁盘驱动器的数据吞吐量性能造成显着的不利影响。

摘要： In accordance with various embodiments, a rotatable member is mounted to a spindle hub so that initial servo data previously provided to the rotatable member are eccentrically offset with respect to a rotational center of the spindle hub. Compensation vales are determined to characterize said offset, after which final servo data are provided to the rotatable member in relation to the initial servo data and the determined compensation values. The final servo data are nominally concentric with the rotational center of the spindle hub.
