MAGNETIC DISK DRIVE AND METHOD FOR REWRITING DATA BLOCK

摘要

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk includes a disk, a controller and an indicator module. The disk includes a plurality of data sectors. The controller is configured to control data rewrite for reading a first data block stored in the disk and writing a second data block corresponding to the read first data block to a write destination on the disk. The indicator module is configured to embed an indicator indicative of an attribute relating to data rewrite in each sector data in the second data block written to the write destination when the each sector data is written to the write destination.
