DISK DRIVE AND METHOD FOR ARRANGING AND MANAGING CALIBRATION AREA IN DISK DRIVE

摘要

According to one embodiment, there is provided a disk drive. In the disk drive, a calibration module calibrates a write condition using a first area in a sequential access area on a disk to which data is to be written next time as a calibration area if the calibration is required. A manager enters the calibration area in a management table in association with a physical address of the first area used as the calibration area. A sequential write module continues a sequential writing from a second area following the first area based on skipping the first area.
