Abstract

PURPOSE:To use both sector servo and zone bit recording while easily maintaining the read of servo information by changing the number of sectors in a data area to be sandwiched by servo information areas corresponding to the position of a cylinder. CONSTITUTION:On each data surface, a servo information area 1 is radially written on the plural radial lines of the data surface. The integer number of sectors 3 are provided in the data area sandwiched between these servo information areas 1 and the number of these sectors is changed corresponding to the position of the cylinder. Between the radial servo information areas, six sectors exist per cylinder in 0 to 2 cylinders, four sectors exist per cylinder in 3 to 5 cylinders and three sectors exist per cylinder in 6 to 8 cylinders. Thus, the bit density of data can be made almost uniform and the servo information can be easily read.

Conventional technology In order to achieve high track density, a sector servo method was developed in which a servo information area (servo sector) was provided within the data surface instead of using a dedicated servo surface, and the servo information was used to perform seek and positioning operations. Magnetic disk devices are increasing.

On the other hand, in order to increase the recording capacity, a zone bit recording method is being adopted in magnetic disk drives, in which the recording track speeds on the outside and inside of the magnetic disk are changed to substantially equalize the bit density on the disk surface. In this case, since the number of bits per sector is fixed (fixed sector), the number of sectors per track changes between the outside and inside of the magnetic disk.

When sector servo is used for a magnetic disk medium that uses such a zone bit recording method, the number of sectors differs depending on each cylinder, so if servo fff information is written for each sector, the servo Information areas are no longer aligned in consecutive positions in the disk radial direction. Therefore, reading processing of servo information becomes difficult. As this servo information, a gray code that encodes cylinder information to know the position of the magnetic head and an offset pattern for detecting head position deviation are written, and if it becomes difficult to read this servo information, There is a drawback that sector servo control becomes impossible.
