  • Patent number: 11593190
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting shingled overwrite errors. When a read error is encountered when reading from shingled recording tracks, a processor may determine whether the read error is an error caused by shingled overwriting. The processor may determine whether the read error is caused by shingled overwriting by determining read signal quality of one or more sectors preceding the read error, such as based on a bit error count or bit error ratio (BER), and comparing the read signal quality to a threshold value. The processor may determine that the read error is caused by shingled overwriting when the read signal quality value is lower than the threshold.

  • Patent number: 10268394
    Abstract: A method includes storing a data group in a first zone of a plurality of radial zones of a data storage disc. Each different one of the plurality of zones has a different throughput level. The method further includes obtaining information related to an access frequency of the data group stored in the first zone of the plurality of zones. Based on the information related to the access frequency of the data group and the different throughput levels of the different zones, a determination is made as to whether to migrate the data group from the first zone of the plurality of zones to a second zone of the plurality of zones.
