    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To migrate intput/output (I/O) operation by using a secondary communication port of a sequential access data storage device. SOLUTION: A method, system, and device for migrating the intput/output (I/O) operation by using the secondary communication port of the sequential access data storage device are provided with: a step for receiving an input/output (I/O) operation request via a first communication port of a primary data storage device; a step for processing the I/O operation request by using the primary data storage device; and a step for migrating the I/O operation request to a secondary data storage device via a second communication port of the primary data storage device virtually at the same time as the previous processing. The primary data storage device is provided with the sequential access data storage device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compensate for tape lateral expansion and contraction about a head having readers with a track width that changes. SOLUTION: A tape head 300 according to one embodiment includes an array of readers, each of the readers having a track width TW, wherein the track width of an inner reader 308 of the array is greater than the track width of an outer reader 306 relative thereto. A tape head, according to another embodiment, includes an array of readers, with each of the readers having a track width, wherein the track width of at least some of the readers progressively decrease, in a direction along the array from a middle of the array towards an end of the array.

    Abstract: A portable data storage drive cartridge has external interfaces positioned respectively at opposite ends of a cartridge shell. They may be arranged to be similar when the cartridge is rotated end over end to a reverse direction wi th respect to the opposite ends. A data storage drive, such as a magnetic disk drive assembly, having an interface, is positioned in the cartridge shell wi th the drive interface positioned toward a first end and away from a second end of the opposite ends of the cartridge shell. Flex cables extend from the dri ve interface, a first extending from the drive interface around the drive to th e external interface at the second end of the cartridge shell, and a second extending from the drive interface, initially around the drive toward the second end, and reversing direction and extending back to the external interface at the first end of the cartridge shell.

    Abstract: Synchronized data is written to magnetic tape while reducing the number of backhitches. A controller detects a pattern of synchronizing events for received data records to be written to tape; writes each transaction of data records to the magnetic tape; accumulates the synchronized transactions in a buffer; and subsequently recursively writes the accumulated transactions of data records from the buffer to the magnetic tape in a sequence. A single backhitch may be employed to place the recursively written accumulated data records following the preceding data, maximizing performance and capacity.

    Abstract: A record medium, such as a magnetic tape, optical disk, magnetic disk, and the like stores data signals and error redundancy signals. Re-synchronisation signals are interleaved between the recorded signals such that the error redundancy signals are usable to correct signals recorded between such interposed re-synchronisation signals wherein no error redundancy signals are recorded. Error pointing redundancy signals are recorded between all of the re-synchronisation signals for pointing to signals in error for enhancing the error correction. Such error pointing signals can be cyclic redundancy check (CRC) signals. Controls for taking advantage of the above-described arrangement are also described. Reframing and clock synchronisation controls are also disclosed.
