Abstract
Implementations disclosed herein provide an apparatus including a storage media and a storage controller configured to divide physical storage space of the storage media into a plurality of media zones between an inner diameter (ID) and an outer diameter (OD) of the storage media, and write LBA sectors to the media zones in a direction from the ID to the OD and writing the data in the direction from the OD to the ID within each media zone.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- a storage media;
- and
- a storage controller configured to:
- divide physical storage space of the storage media into a plurality of media zones between an inner diameter (ID) and an outer diameter (OD) of the storage media, and
- write LBA sectors to the media zones in a direction from the ID to the OD and to write the data in the direction from the OD to the ID within each media zone.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- dividing physical storage space of a storage media into a plurality of media zones, wherein the media zones are aligned between an inner diameter (ID) and an outer diameter (OD) of the storage media;
- and
- dividing the logical block address (LBA) space mapped to the storage area into a plurality of LBA sectors;
- writing the LBA sectors to the media zones in a direction from the ID to the OD;
- and
- within each media zone, writing the data in the direction from the OD to the ID.
3 more elements
A storage device controller configured to:
- divide LBA address space mapped to a physical storage space into a plurality of LBA sectors;
- divide physical storage space of the storage media into a plurality of media zones between an inner diameter (ID) and an outer diameter (OD) of the storage media, and
- write LBA sectors to the media zones in a direction from the ID to the OD and to write the data within a given LBA sector in the direction from the OD to the ID within each media zone.
