  • Apparatus and method for dynamic multiple actuator drive data access
    Patent number: 10090017
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for dynamic multiple actuator drive data access includes: partitioning a data package of a received data transfer request into a plurality of data segments; assigning actuator drivers and actuator controllers; initiating a data transfer to or from the data storage medium using one or more of the plurality of actuators corresponding to the one or more assigned actuator controllers; storing or retrieving an individual data package of the data transfer request to or from the data storage medium wherein the entire data package is wholly accessible to a single actuator, if the data transfer request is a random data mode request; and storing or retrieving an individual data segment of the data transfer request to or from the data storage medium wherein the data package is accessible to the plurality of actuators, if the request is a parallel data mode request.
