PRIORITIZED RANDOM ACCESS FOR MAGNETIC RECORDING

摘要

A storage device includes a controller that directs incoming data to a storage location based on a capacity of a region or surface of a magnetic disc. According to one implementation, the storage device controller writes new data to data tracks in a first series of data tracks on the magnetic disc until a capacity condition is satisfied. Once the capacity condition is satisfied, the storage device controller writes new data to a second series of data tracks on the storage medium that are interlaced with data tracks of the first series.

1. Apparatus comprising:
storage device controller that writes new data to data tracks in a first series of data tracks on a storage medium until a first capacity is satisfied, and writes new data to data tracks in a second series of data tracks on the storage medium after the capacity condition is satisfied, each of the data tracks of the second series being interlaced with data tracks of the first series.
