  • Predictive disc drive failure methodology
    Patent number: 6982842
    Abstract: A method of performing predictive failure analysis (PFA) for a disc drive includes maintaining at least two primary error counts during operation of the disc drive. The primary error counts each correspond to disc drive errors associated with different attributes of the disc drive and are potentially indicative of disc drive failure. Imminent disc drive failure is predicted based upon a combination of the primary error counts.
    Type: Grant
