摘要： Methods and apparatus are described for a data transfer unit between a storage unit and a host, wherein a slower data transfer rate is established when a predetermined error is detected. In one embodiment the cyclicity of the error occurrence calculated and a wait is inserted between data to avoid transferring data at the calculated cyclicity point of the detected error. Optionally the data transfer unit may return the data transfer rate to the original data transfer rate or state after a predetermined time has elapsed, after a predetermined number of commands have been received, after a predetermined amount of data have been transferred, or by combination of these.

摘要： A disk drive unit and an error recovery method for the disk drive unit which can reduce processing time for ERP in resetting, thereby shortening response time to the reset is described. A normal error recovery procedure is executed if there is no reset request when a write error occurs, but if there is a reset request pending, a data record in which a write error occurs is registered as a defective position (e.g. sector) and an alternate (spare) position is assigned to accelerate the time when the drive can respond to the reset instruction. Data records with alternate positions assigned as a part of the reset activity are specially marked so that alternate position assignment can be undone as soon as is appropriate, for example, when the record is next read or written.

摘要： A disk drive and a method for controlling the disk drive in which an additional read from a medium can be performed as needed while minimizing the command overhead to the minimum. In a disk drive device 10, even if a read command is issued, and all the required data is stored in the cache memory such that the data transfer can be performed without the intervention of a local MPU 16, a HIC 15 performs the data transfer so as to leave the last one block and waits for the intervention of the local MPU 16. The local MPU 16 provides instructions to transfer the last one block when the preparation for the command termination is completed, and if a plurality of blocks of data to be transferred are remaining when the local MPU 16 instructs the HIC 15 to transfer the last one block, the HIC 15 executes all the data transfer without stopping the data transfer before the last one block, completing the command.

摘要： A method and apparatus for minimizing performance degradation resulting from reassignment of data to alternate sectors as a result of a defect within the original sector. For example, when a request for writing data “a” into a sector A is made but the data is written into an alternative sector A′ in an alternative sector area X because the sector A is defective. Therefore, when a write request for writing data “b” into a sector B is made subsequently, re-assignment is performed to a sector B′ subsequent to the alternative sector A′. Similarly, a defective sector C for which a request for writing data “c” is made is re-assigned an alternative sector C′. Thus, the successive data a, b, and c are written into the successive sectors A′, B′, and C′ in the same alternative sector area X, minimizing performance degradation.
摘要翻译：一种用于最小化由于原始扇区内的缺陷而将数据重新分配给替代扇区所导致的性能下降的方法和装置。例如，当将数据“a”写入扇区A但是写入数据时由于扇区A是有缺陷的，所以成为替代扇区区域X'中的替代扇区A'。因此，当随后进行写入数据“b”的写入请求时，对替代扇区A'之后的扇区B'进行重新分配。类似地，对写入数据“c”的请求的缺陷扇区C被重新分配替代扇区C'。因此，连续数据a，b和c被写入相同替代扇区区域X中的连续扇区A'，B'和C'中，使性能下降最小化。

摘要： A disk storage device is disclosed for avoiding the instantaneous performance degradation as much as possible, and a method for processing a defective sector in such a disk storage device. There is executed a predetermined check related to a function of the disk storage device, preferably at least one of a read test, a write servo test, or a write test, when the disk storage device is in a waiting state where the disk storage device has no access from a host. The read test and write servo test are used to search for a defective sector on a disk and reassign the defective sector. The write test is used to indicate an abnormal condition of a head. Furthermore, the disk storage device includes a detector for detecting the waiting state, and a check logic for executing a predetermined check.

摘要： Data in a nonvolatile memory included in a data storage device is rewritten with higher security. According to one embodiment of the present invention, if an error is included in data stored in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, the HDD rewrites correct data to the nonvolatile semiconductor memory. In particular, during the execution sequence of a write command, the HDD executes rewrite processing of control data stored in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory. More specifically, data is rewritten during a specified period of time that falls within a period of time starting from a start notification of write-data transfer processing that is sent from the HDD to the host, until a command completion notification. Since there is a very small possibility that the power of the host may be interrupted during this specified period of time, it is possible to securely rewrite data.
