  • Patent number: 8909986
    Abstract: A data storing method for a solid state drive is used to preserve data integrity after a power failure. The solid state drive has a flash memory with plural blocks. Each block includes plural pages. One of the plural blocks is set as an old open block. The data storing method includes the following steps. Firstly, the solid state drive is powered on again. Then, the valid data in the old open block are stored into a new open block.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7773472
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for dynamically detecting writing quality of a recordable optical disc. According to the method, firstly a current detecting position located on a program area of the recordable optical disc is set. Then the recordable disc drive proceeds data recording in the program area with an optimal write power. The recordable disc drive paused data recording when a recording position exceeds or is equal to the current detecting position. Then the recordable disc drive reproduces pre-recorded data in the tracks of the recordable optical disc to perform OPC for modifying the optimal write power and calculating a jitter value. Thereafter a following detecting position is modified based on the jitter value and data recording is restarted in the program area with the modified optimal write power until the recording position exceeds or is equal to the modified following detecting position.

  • Publication number: 20030188095
    Abstract: A method for dynamically determining optimal write speed of optical disk is proposed. The target beta value and the power limit of laser are determined firstly. The optimum power control process is taken and the optimal power is compared with the power limit. If the optimal power is larger than the power limit, the write speed is reduced and optimum power control process is taken until the optimal write speed is found.
