Method for Format Savings in Coherently Written Fragmented Sectors

摘要

A method and system for performing a shortened acquire cycle for at least one fragment of at least one data sector having coherently written fragments, the coherently written fragments being written during a single rotation of a storage medium. The method includes performing a full acquire cycle for a first fragment of a particular data sector of the at least one data sector. The method further includes reusing at least a portion of the acquisition information of the first fragment to perform a shortened acquire cycle for at least one subsequent coherently written fragment. The method also includes reusing at least a portion of the acquisition information of the first fragment to perform a shortened acquire cycle for at least one subsequent coherently written fragment. Additionally, the method includes performing the shortened acquire cycle for the at least one subsequent coherently written fragment.

1. A method for performing a shortened acquire cycle for at least one fragment of at least one data sector having coherently written fragments, the method comprising:
performing a full acquire cycle for a first fragment of a particular data sector of the at least one data sector; recording acquisition information of the first fragment obtained from performing the full acquire cycle for the first fragment of the particular data sector of the at least one data sector; reusing at least a portion of the acquisition information of the first fragment to perform a shortened acquire cycle for at least one subsequent coherently written fragment of the particular data sector or at least one subsequent coherently written fragment of a subsequent data sector of the at least one data sector; and performing the shortened acquire cycle for the at least one subsequent coherently written fragment of the particular data sector or the at least one subsequent coherently written fragment of the subsequent data sector of the at least one data sector.
