<p>The present invention relates to a method for writing data blocks on a block addressable storage medium, preferably an optical storage medium, using defect management, comprising the steps: processing data to data blocks adapted to the storage medium by a host device (12,16); sending each data block from the host device to a target device (14,18), writing each data block to the storage medium (27) by said target device without performing a defect management; sending an information signal by the tarjet device to the host device if a data block is destined for a defect area of the storage medium; temporarily storing (23) the respective data block by said host device in response to said information signal; and after all data blocks have been sent to the target device, sending all temporarily stored data blocks from said host device to said target device and performing defect management by said target device upon writing said data blocks to the storage medium. The invention also relates to an apparatus for writing data blocks on a block addressable storage medium, preferably an optical storage medium, using defect management, with a host unit and a target unit.</p> |
