  • Patent number: 6263462
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a testing method and tester which reliably flags errors in disk drives, thereby reducing disk failures. In the testing method and tester, a random error due to noise occurs anywhere in a sector (read)/cylinder (write), whereas a repeatable error occurs in a specific area on a disk. If a plurality of random errors occur in the same sector or cylinder, no flagging is performed if the occurrence positions are distant from each other.
