  • Patent number: 7159073
    Abstract: An extent record for an extent based data buffer that includes a host pointer that links the extent record to a next host extent record of a host extent record set, and a storage device pointer that links the extent record to a next storage device extent record of a storage device extent record set. Also, a system for transferring data between a host and a storage device that includes a data buffer coupled to the host and the storage device, where memory in the data buffer is divided into one or more extents, an extent table associated with the data buffer, where the extent table includes at least one extent record, an LBA chain table coupled to the host and the extent table, and a track section table coupled to the storage device and the extent table.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6134069
    Abstract: A method for operating a disk drive apparatus in the Idle Mode reduces power consumption while meeting non-operating shock and vibration specifications. This is achieved by operating the disk drive apparatus with the head in the loaded state with the disk rotating at a first rotational speed, unloading the head, and in Idle Mode, rotating the disk at a second rotational speed lower than the first rotational speed, with the electronics depowered.
