MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE AND REFERENCE PATTERN WRITING METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18182586 titled 'MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE AND REFERENCE PATTERN WRITING METHOD OF THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a magnetic disk device that writes multiple simulated reference patterns to the disk under different conditions, detects the write state of each pattern, selects a condition based on the detection results, and then writes regular reference patterns to the disk based on the selected condition.

  • The magnetic disk device writes simulated reference patterns to the disk.
  • It detects the write state of each simulated reference pattern.
  • Based on the detection results, it selects a specific condition.
  • Regular reference patterns are then written to the disk based on the selected condition.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in data storage systems, magnetic disk drives, and other magnetic recording devices.

Problems Solved

1. Improved accuracy in writing reference patterns on magnetic disks. 2. Enhanced performance in predetermined processing executed on the disk.

Benefits

1. Increased reliability in data storage. 2. Enhanced efficiency in data processing. 3. Improved overall performance of magnetic disk devices.

Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device writes a plurality of simulated reference patterns to the magnetic disk on write conditions different from each other, detects a write state of each of the simulated reference patterns, selects one of the write conditions according to detection results, and writes a plurality of regular reference patterns which become criteria for predetermined processing to be executed on the magnetic disk to the magnetic disk on the selected write condition.
