Abstract:The emerging interlaced magnetic recording (IMR) technology achieves a higher areal density for hard disk drive (HDD) over the conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology. IMR-based HDD interlaces top tracks and bottom tracks, where each bottom track is overlapped with two neighboring top tracks. Thus, top tracks can be updated without restraint, whereas bottom tracks can be updated by the time-consuming read-modify-write (RMW) or other novel update strategy. Therefore, the layout of the tracks between th… Show more
