Method and apparatus for controlling write operation in a disk drive

摘要

There is disclosed a disk drive which uses a magnetic disk medium and executes a non-normal write operation that a host system is not concerned with other than normal read/write operations that the host system is concerned with. This drive inhibits the non-normal write operation in a temperature environment not more than a low-temperature limit based on a temperature value from a temperature sensor at the time of executing the non-normal write operation.
