  • Scheduling low-priority disk seeks for multi-actuator data storage device
    Patent number: 10706886
    Abstract: A first time period is determined during which a first head driven by a first actuator will be performing a track-following operation. A second time period is also determined during which a second head driven by a second actuator will be performing a low-priority disk access operation that includes a seek. The first and second actuators are independently movable such that the first and second disk access operations are capable of being performed in parallel. If it is determined that the seek of the second head will impact servo control of the track-following operation of the first head, a start time of the seek of the second head is changed to correspond to a time that mitigates impacts to the track-following operation of the first head.

  • Changing disk access operations to reduce servo control impact in a multiple actuator drive
    Patent number: 10049691
    Abstract: In a disk drive apparatus, a first time period is determined, during which a first head driven by a first actuator will be performing a first disk access operation. A second time period is determined, during which a second head driven by a second actuator will be performing a second disk access operation. The first and second actuators are independently movable such that the first and second disk access operations are capable of being performed in parallel. If it is determined that the second disk access operation will impact servo control of the first disk access operation, at least one of the first and second disk access operations is changed to reduce the impact to the servo control of the first disk access operation.
