Method and apparatus write control in a disk drive

TL;DR: In this article, an information processing apparatus including a main unit, a cooling fan, and a nonvolatile semiconductor storage device is provided within the main unit to be used as an external storage device.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a magnetic disk apparatus comprising a memory storing data received from an external apparatus via an interface, a magnetic head for writing to the magnetic disk the data stored in the memory, a falling detection unit for detecting falling of the magnetic disks, an acceleration detection unit, a reception interruption unit for, when the falling detector detects the falling, interrupting the sending/receiving operation of the data and command at the interface.

TL;DR: In this article, a DVD recorder includes a control portion (10) operating in response to a signal received from a monitor portion (5) of a hard disk device (1) and indicating how many times writing a data signal is retried.

TL;DR: In this article, the seek time associated with moving a transducer from an initial track on the rotatable disk to a target track on a disk drive was determined. But the seek times were not specified.

TL;DR: In this paper, temperature sensors are located inside drive chambers where disk drives are located to signal an overheating condition, which triggers external alarms and produces an interrupt signal to the disk drive controller, which, in turn, alerts the operating system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a temperature sensor is placed near a magneto-optical disk in a magnetic disk drive and a detection signal is transmitted to a microcomputer via an A/D converter.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for storing data on a target track of a recordable medium in a storage device via a magnetic write head therein is described, where the storage device has an operating parameter having an operational range with extreme at which the writing of data to said device is prohibited, and a first threshold within said range is defined and proximate said first extreme and delimits a first operational subrange.

TL;DR: In this article, a temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature of the optical recording medium and a laser power adjusting means for adjusting first laser power and second laser power on the basis of the detected temperature was presented.
