Disk drive employing allocation-based scan reporting |
摘要 |
A method is provided for managing a cache in a disk drive having an intelligent interface for communicating with a host. The drive includes a magnetic disk, and the cache is divisible into a number of segments, and employs a cache control structure including cache parameters. The drive receives a first command and a second command. The method comprises the steps of: performing a scan of the cache to assign the first command to a segment; compensating the cache parameters in response to the scan; and performing a scan to assign the second command to a cache segment prior to caching of data requested in the first command.
