Abstract
A data storage device may have at least a qualifier circuit that is configured to recognize a write error during a write operation for a single user data sector on a data storage medium and resume the write operation from the location of the write error by skipping at least one user data sub-sector to provide multiple separate original user data sub-sectors that collectively form the single user data sector.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising a qualifier circuit configured to recognize a write error during a write operation for a single user data sector on a data storage medium and resume the write operation from the location of the write error by skipping at least one user data sub-sector to provide multiple separate original user data sub-sectors that collectively form the single user data sector.
A method comprising:
- configuring a qualifier circuit to recognize a write error during a write operation for a single user data sector on a data storage medium;
- and
- resuming the write operation from the location of the write error by skipping at least one previously written user data sub-sector to provide multiple separate original user data sub-sectors that collectively form the single user data sector.
A method comprising:
- configuring a qualifier circuit to recognize a write error during a write operation for a single user data sector on a data storage medium;
- suspending the write operation by skipping at least one user data sub-sector of the single user data sector;
- and
- resuming the write operation from the location of the write error by skipping at least one previously written user data sub-sector to provide multiple separate original user data sub-sectors that collectively form the single user data sector.
