    Abstract: A data storage system includes a logical space having logical block addresses (LBAs) divided into non-overlapping LBA ranges, and a physical space having pairs of physical bands. The system also includes a map in which first successive alternate LBAs of each different one of the non-overlapping LBA ranges are mapped to successive adjacent physical blocks of a first physical band of each different pair of the pairs of physical bands, and second successive alternate LBAs of each different one of the non-overlapping LBA ranges are mapped to successive adjacent physical blocks of a second physical band of each different pair of the pairs of physical bands. A controller employs the map to concurrently read data from a first physical block of the first physical band of one pair of physical bands and from a first physical block of the second physical band of the same pair of physical bands.

    Abstract: A data storage rack may only have a subset of the HDDs therein operating in an active mode where read/write operations may be performed. Other HDDs may operate in an idle mode, which is a power-saving state that permits the HDDs to quickly change-over to the active mode, when needed. In storage racks containing numerous HDDs, a majority of the HDDs may be operated at idle mode for a majority of the time. Where a large number of HDDs are operated at idle mode, a fixed common idle speed shared by the numerous HDDs can cause unwanted excitation, vibration, and resonance. This can yield increased wear on rack components, decreased performance from the HDDs therein, and increased noise. Variable HDD idle spindle speeds mitigate the foregoing, which is caused by an idle spindle speed previously common to many, if not all HDDs within the data storage rack.

    Abstract: An anti-reflection storage medium. The anti-reflection storage medium includes a storage layer and a protective overcoat disposed over the storage later. The protective overcoat has a first refractive index value that is matched to a second refractive index value of the storage layer to reduce reflection of incident light applied to the storage medium when data is written to the storage layer of the storage medium.
