A write error detection mechanism for a computer data disk drive or storage controller writes and then verifies data to detect disk write errors. It allows the heads to be moved to other tracks to do other jobs in the time it takes the disk to rotate from the point the data was written and to return there again so it can be read to verify the write. The data written is temporarily stored in feature table memory outside the disk, so it can be used as in the comparison later when the written data can be read for the verify. In the interim, other write-and-verify and read operations can be pipelined, or multitasked using the same head, even on different tracks. |
