MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537486 titled 'MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE

The abstract describes a patent application for a system where a Host Data Controller (HDC) receives data segments from a host, adds a code to each segment, calculates exclusive OR with respect to the codes, and outputs information. A Read-Write Controller (RWC) performs data conversion and exclusive OR calculations on the data segments, outputs the converted data segments and track parity, acquires codes, calculates exclusive OR with respect to the acquired codes, and compares information.

  • HDC receives data segments from a host and adds a code to each segment.
  • HDC calculates exclusive OR with respect to the codes and outputs information.
  • RWC performs data conversion and exclusive OR calculations on the data segments.
  • RWC outputs the converted data segments, track parity, and acquires codes.
  • RWC calculates exclusive OR with respect to the acquired codes and compares information.

Potential Applications: - Data security and integrity in storage systems. - Error detection and correction in data transmission. - Data backup and recovery systems.

Problems Solved: - Ensuring data integrity during storage and transmission. - Detecting and correcting errors in data segments. - Enhancing data reliability and security.

Benefits: - Improved data reliability and integrity. - Enhanced error detection and correction capabilities. - Increased data security and protection.

Commercial Applications: Title: Data Security and Integrity System This technology can be used in: - Cloud storage systems. - Network attached storage devices. - Data centers and server farms.

Prior Art: Research existing data integrity and error correction technologies in storage systems and data transmission protocols.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in data integrity algorithms and error correction techniques for storage systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system compare to traditional error correction methods? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in high-speed data transmission environments?


Original Abstract Submitted

According to the embodiment, an HDC receives a plurality of data segments from a host, and executes generation and addition of a first code and output of a data segment to which the first code is added to each data segment. An HDC calculates exclusive OR with respect to the first codes, and outputs obtained first information. The RWC performs data conversion and calculation of exclusive OR on the plurality of data segments to which the first code is added, and outputs the plurality of data segments after the data conversion and a track parity obtained by the calculation of the exclusive OR. The RWC acquires the first code from the plurality of data segments. The RWC calculates exclusive OR with respect to a group of the second codes which are the acquired first codes to acquire second information. The RWC compares the first information with the second information.
