<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve performance by reducing the number of RABF cycles when data is written in a tape medium. <P>SOLUTION: A tape drive estimates capacity Next Estimated Tx of the next data (a step 451), determines whether the Next Estimated Tx is larger than a Threshold A (a step 453), in the case of No, determines whether capacity D of the previous data is larger than the Threshold A (a step 454), and in the case of Yes, determines whether the Next Estimated Tx is larger than a Threshold B (a step 455). In the case of Yes in the step 453, and Yes in the step 455, the tape drive waits for the next data by a normal lap without performing backhitch (a step 456), and in the case of No in the step 454, and No in the step 455, moves to an ABF lap to wait for the next data (457). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
