Abstract: For decreasing seeks generated when switching an execution flow between commands to enhance read and write performances of a disc drive, a command is implemented with a specifically-designed data structure, and commands having neighboring physical addresses and the same type of read or write operations are grouped and linked together. With the aid of command groups, seeks between commands are significantly decreased, though starvation may arise. A few techniques are further provided for preventing starvation of command groups and for preserving the benefits of decreasing seeks.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for updating firmware stored in a memory. In one embodiment, the memory is divided into a plurality of blocks, and the firmware to be updated with a new image version. First, a first data block is obtained from the new image version, and a second data block is obtained from a target block selected from the memory. Whether the first data block is different from the second data block is then checked. The first data block is then written into the target block when the first data block is different from the second data block. Finally, the aforementioned steps are repeated until all of the blocks are processed.

Abstract: A method utilized in an electrical system is proposed. The electrical system includes a device, a host comprising a storage medium, and an interface interconnecting the device and the host. In an example of the proposed method, the device sends a buffer create request to the host. In response to the buffer create request, the host allocates a segment of the storage medium to the device. The device then utilizes the segment as an external buffer.
